Douglas J. Pierce

Douglas J. Pierce was born November 21, 1948 to the late Betty and Ralph and passed away September 23, 2026.

He is survived by his sons Kevin and James, their wives Katie and Lindsay, and grandson Ralph. He is also survived by his three sisters Cindy, Debbie, and Karen; as well as many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.

Doug was born in St. Johnsbury, VT, before moving to Springfield, MA before high school. He enjoyed a full life of family, friends, motorcycles, and snowmobiles, before retiring from Northeastern University. He loved spending time at the family cabin in Vermont, both alone and with friends and family. When asked what he was planning to do when he retired, he always responded “I am spending Spring, Summer and Fall in Vermont! Mowing, puttering around the yard and sitting on my porch, in my rocker, reading!” He loved the peace and quiet of the camp life.

Doug was known for both his carpentry skill and his wry sense of humor — which he claimed were somehow related. His lifelong love of reading gave him both an incredible breadth of knowledge and an encyclopedia of Dad Jokes which he regularly unleashed on his entire extended family.

He will be missed.
