Doug was born and raised in Louisiana and came from a very poor family. They didn't have much.

The response from the community has been phenomenal.

He was always the life of the party. The manner in which he would tell a story with that strong southern accent was special to many people.

It is a poor family that hath neither a whore nor a thief in it

Do you remember that politician who died with the fishnet tights and all that? Aw, his poor family. I wonder how they dress him in the coffin?
