Mr. Doggins was quite a character and to say he loved his music is very very true. I knew him from where he stayed in Sherman and he loved that “jam box” lol. He would come up to me asking if he had mail and boy that music was loud so I would have to ask him to turn it down so I could hear him lol. But he always called me sister and ask if I needed food or anything so he did have a great heart and was a caring man. God be with his family and friends through out this journey. God bless you all including Ms. Maggie York who I too, have become very close with.
Rest easy Cousin ❤️
