Doug was born on Feb. 2, 1932, to Robert Bonner and Irene Cullins Milliken of Wilson, Texas. He graduated from Wilson High School in 1949 and enlisted in the US M.C. one year later. He served his country with honor during the Korean War. Doug married Judy W. Bell on May 27, 1952. They made their home in Oceanside, CA, until Doug's discharge from the Marines. Upon his return to Slaton, Doug began his career in the auto industry. He worked for McGinnis Chevrolet for over twenty years. Among some of his interests were a love of music, from the classics to Blue Grass, fishing, and gardening. He was meticulous about his yard. Doug was an avid reader and supporter of the Slaton Library. His love of reading led to a close friendship with librarians, Kim and Ola and fellow reader, Suzanne. He cherished his community of coffee drinkers and friends at O.D. Kenney's where he spent many happy afternoons. He will leave a long legacy of memories. Doug was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Raymond, Troy, Robert, and Pat; and one sister, Evelyn Smith.
