He was a volunteer fireman, president of the Jaycees, an active member of the International Association of Auditorium Managers and was involved in many community activities. In 1970 came the opportunity to move his family to Fort Worth, where he became the assistant manager of Will Rogers Memorial Center, a position where he spent many happy and busy hours until he retired in 1993 as assistant director of public events. After retirement he dedicated another 20 years as director of parking for the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.

Doug made every day a good day. He made a difference in a lot of people’s lives. He always had a smile on his face and a story to tell. He was a loving husband, dad, papa and best friend to all who knew him. His perpetual smile and laughter will be missed by us all. The family would like to thank the staff of Garden Terrace Fort Worth who took great care of Doug, and the compassionate care and support of Heart to Heart Hospice during his final hours.
