Lloyd Douglas (Doug) Tise, 60, passed away peacefully in sleep at home in Conroe, Texas on Oct.11. Tise was a third generation pipeliner and was named after his grandfather Lloyd "Mizzou" Farley, who started pipelining in California back in the 1920s. Farley started L.E. Farley Inc., which became a major cross-country pipeline firm building many pipelines across the United States, including the first 30-in. natural gas pipeline across the Mississippi River. Doug's dad, Earl Tise, is also a lifelong pipeliner, who retired from Bechtel in 1983 and was a superintendent and construction manager on numerous major pipelines in Argentina and Algeria from the late 1950s through the early 1980s and was instrumental in getting the Trans Alaska Pipeline (TAPS) construction kicked off and was construction manager on Spread 1 of TAPS. Doug also has a brother, brother-in-law, two sons, and three nephews who are all in the pipeline industry.
