Doug was a good man that will be surely missed in our community. when I started in the fire department at the age of 16 and he was friends with my grandfather and my mom and dad, I knew him as one of the fire police and would always have the station doors ready and waiting for us firefighters to arrive. He was also our local town sheriff that kept a good eye on the community and the station. Growing up going to Doug´s and Eunice and they´re good friend that lived with them. Ines White for Halloween will always be remembered by myself. R.I.P Doug your watch is over sir
