Douglas Reed Anfin, 79, a loving father, grandfather, great- grandfather and friend, passed away peacefully Saturday, June 11, 2016, at his home. Funeral: 3:30 p.m. Thursday, June 23, in Greenwood Chapel. Reception to follow in the Live Oak Room. Douglas Reed Anfin was born in Omaha, Neb., on April 14, 1937. After settling in Dallas, he married Jeri McMillan. They eventually moved to Fort Worth to raise their four children. After serving in the Marines and working at Ford Motor Company, he began to work for Jax Distributing with his father-in-law, John V. McMillan. He later moved with him to Coors Distributing Company of Fort Worth, where he served as president until his retirement in the '90s. Doug always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell. In his later years, he looked forward to spending time with his family and extended family, the Rio Grande Social Club. His favorite time of day was 5:30, when he would gather with his close friends for their daily happy hour. The family would like to thank the Benbrook Police and Fire Department for their kindness and service. We would also like to thank Aaron Walters for his actions on Saturday night and his continued support. Doug was preceded in death by his parents, Roland Reed Anfin and Helen Sutton Anfin; and sister, Sandra Anfin Albers.
