The obituary notice of Doug WEST

So.sad to have just heard of Doug’s passing. I also worked with him in Teesside courts. He was much, much bigger than his physical stature, much, much more compassionate than most. He was a fighter not a follower who valued the well being, and worth of all. He was inspirational! And he had a wonderful sense of humour and an overabundance of wit. I will remember him at the going down of the sun and in the morning. Much love to Frieda and siblings, you have a rich legacy to hold close. The world is richer when it spawns the likes of Doug West.

To my Dad who encouraged me to be passionate and to live life to the fullest.
More than anything to enjoy life and to fight for whatever I wanted and to be the best at whatever I did.

Rest in peace Dad
Love Sue

Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my former boss, Doug. I had the privilege of working under him at Teesside Crown Court for many years. While some found him formidable, to those of us in the office, he was a kind and supportive presence—always ready to stand up for me when it mattered. My thoughts are with his beloved wife, Frieda, and all my former colleagues in probation who had the honor of knowing him x
