View all 21 ReflectionsI knew Doug through an undercover officer with the sheriff’s department. I had just signed on with Doug when tragedy struck.
I can only say he was in high regard with the Sheriffs department.
In fact our mutual friend quit service following his demise.
His tragedy ended service of one of the best officers, that could have been.
My service ended as well.
You are missed.
