Errol Littleton Douglas

I´m so surprised to hear about Errol´s transition. I send my condolences and heartfelt sympathy to his entire Douglas family. I to worked at Ford Motor Company, I came to know Errol while bowling in a league. He was a competitive bowler and it was always fun to bowl against him. Errol will be truly missed, RIP my friend.

My condolonces to the family and especially to his wife Katina, of the last 24 years. A true reflection of poor character has been made by not making mention of you, who aided him through many insurmountable ailments he faced and always reminded him where he got his strength from. May GOD heal all the hearts that are mourning this loss.

My shared experiences with Errol are indeed personal and comical. It all began in Memphis, Tennessee. Being brother and sister we were also "partners in crime." We are only one year in apart, in age, and I guess we could have been twins of sort, we were tiny. We had so many fun times in Memphis, so please indulge me while I share a few.

Errol taught me how to spit from a balcony and sometimes there were people below. We would venture down to the bayou that was near our house and when it would rain the water would rise and we would spend hours just watching objects and trash float by (what fun!). We took turns rolling each other inside tires and sometimes, at night, we would go beneath houses searching for big black bugs to catch and sell to bait stores (our first small business). We were offered orange sherbet by a lady from church one evening. Wide eyed and puzzled we looked questioningly at each other (we had never heard of or knew what that was) but said "yes ma'am" and have been dancing happily ever since. Whenever we are together we always have to have orange sherbet and reminise.
There were so many fruit trees in Memphis and we luckily found one full of figs. The tree had to be climbed because there was a very large dog in the yard. We took a chance and Errol almost fell in. We hardly got any figs and that was the end of that venture (I was a better climber than him).
We spent a great deal of time in church with Aunt Rea where there was a lot of loud music/tambourines/ singing and jumping. No matter how good the "beat" two of us knew better not to "jump." One didn't and suffered the consequences. Errol and I just sang loudly and clapped our hands. Good, good music. Aunt Rea had us singing as a trio on several occasions in church, but two of us never thought about making that a career. One did and took to the stage, winning $10.00 (not mentioning any names).
Least I forget Saturday movies for at least 4 to 5 hours of Hop a long Cassidy, The 3 Stooges or The Little Rascals, a cartoon and a chapter play. You had to tune in/come back next week to see if the main character died, was hurt, got the girl, the horse or whatever.
I am left here for a little while to enjoy these wonderful memories with my children but to my sweet, sweet brother "you and I will continue our "peaceful and blessed antics" up yonder. Until then, I love you "Big eye Roo."

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My condolences to the family. Errol was a treasure to be around with his funny stories and he always had a camera to remember the moment. Maurice Madison Ford Family
