He taught marketing at the Anderson School of Management at the University of California at Los Angeles for five years before joining the faculty at Indiana University, Kelley School of Business in 1968 where he retired in 1998. Throughout his career, Doug also taught at the University of San Diego, the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, Georgia Tech University and California State University at Northridge.

He was the author of journal articles, business cases and 30 books on retailing, sales management, marketing management, and a sales management simulation. His most popular books were Marketing Management: Text and Cases and Sales Management published by John Wiley & Sons.

Doug was a 1st Lieutenant in the Army Quartermaster Corps serving on active duty and reserves for eight years. He served on the Board of Directors of the IU Credit Union and Board of Directors of the Monroe County YMCA. Doug was a resident of Bloomington for 54 years.

Brothers, Ross Dalrymple and Dana Dalrymple preceded him in death. Doug showed his love and concern for his family and friends by building and repairing any and everything. In their eyes there was nothing he couldn’t do and his steady hands will be greatly missed. Doug also was a wealth of information about purchases and was often asked for advice, especially about cars, from those who knew him. He also loved gardening, sailing, skiing, reading, and playing bridge. His orchids were a joy to him in later life. Private burial will be at Valley Forge Memorial Gardens in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania at a later date.
