Members of Clallam Fire District No. 2 are mourning the recent loss of one of their own, Chief Sam Phillips announced last week.
William “Bill” Doran, who served the fire district for 51 years, died Oct. 31 at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle.
The World War II veteran was 95.
Services were Thursday.
“Many of us in the fire district will miss Bill. He was always a very humble and very dedicated public servant,” Phillips said in a news release.
Doran served in the U.S. Navy as a radio man on a landing craft in the Pacific Theater during World War II.
From 1967 to 1977 he served in the Naval Reserve.
A professional painter by trade, Doran owned and operated Superior Painters in Port Angeles for three decades.
