Donald E. (Don) Bugh went to be with his Lord on June 29, surrounded with family at St. Francis Hospital. He was born in Okemah, OK on 5/30/1931 to Lloyd & Sadie Bugh, the youngest of 6 siblings and first born in a hospital. Don grew up in an oil field camp house in "Struggleville", suburb of the Cromwell, OK metropolis. The "Country Boy from Cromwell" learned quickly to make his own fun and developed his sense of humor. Don graduated from Cromwell High in 1949 with 22 classmates and moved to Stillwater to attend Oklahoma A&M (OSU). Don kept busy with ROTC and part-time jobs to pay for college. He joined the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. He graduated in 1954 with a Business degree and was named the Air Force ROTC Distinguished Graduate.

Don met his wife Susie at OSU and were married for 68 years!! They had 2 children (Lisa and Stan), have 5 grandkids, and currently 5 great grandkids. Don loved on his family with fun family trips & holidays, much warmth, and was always encouraging them along their paths. Don & Susie had the gift of hospitality and Don never met a stranger he couldn't make into a friend!

After his 2-year service in the Air Force, Don first began work at Indiana Oil Purchasing (Amoco) and soon shifted to Tuloma. In 1968, he was transferred to Chicago with a promotion to NGL Supply Manager. Don left Amoco in 1973 returning to Tulsa for NGL Supply, Inc. for a more entrepreneurial role. He became president of NGL in 1976 and grew the company into a well-respected gas liquids trading company. Don became CEO and Chairman of NGL. He eventually retired in 1996 and shifted his focus to grandkids, golf, travel, and charity work.

Don is survived by Susie, children Lisa Thomas (Phil) and Stan Bugh (Ranee'), grandchildren Lauren Campbell (Brian), Courtney Dickens (Chase), Michelle Bugh, Stephen Bugh (Madeline), Zach Thomas and great grandkids Claire Campbell, Ladd Dickens, Charlotte Campbell, Charlotte Bugh, and Porter Dickens.
