Douglas was my cousin and I'm sorry to say I just learned of his passing, I visited with him a few times in the last few years and watched him perform his gun slinger show. He was a heck of a character all of his life and I'm proud to call him family.

Tried to remember how long we have known each other and I am guessing about 60 years. It seems like a thousand years ago when we were growing up in Benbrook. Rest in peace my friend.

Sorry to hear of Douglas's passing. We were long ago childhood friends and shared a common Aunt Mary Taylor. DOUGLAS lived in a rental duplex owned by my Dad during his childhood. RIP Douglas
