Leave a tribute for Douglas “Doug” White.
So sorry for everyone’s loss. Doug was my hero when I was little. He drove by in that black truck or his motorcycle and I always said I want to be like Doug. He was a great guy. When he moved away I was so sad. He is in Heaven now and I know he is so proud of all his family. He always called me little Jr. I will never forget him.
