He received his Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering from Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. He also attended Yale University graduate school, earning a Certificate of Traffic Engineering. He served as an officer and platoon leader in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Korea, where he earned a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star. At discharge, he held the rank of Second Lieutenant.
Surviving are his wife Selby M. Doughty, daughter Heather Doughty of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, son Jon Doughty of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and son Andrew Doughty and his wife Ellen Doughty and her daughter, Lizzy Swam, of York, Pennsylvania. They will all miss his blue eyes, his wonderful smile, and his keen sense of humor.
