Couch passed away last month at 70 after a relatively brief battle with cancer. He served 30 years with the department, retiring in 2006 after three years as fire chief. He and his successor as Victoria fire chief, Doug Angrove, who died of cancer in May 2017, were remembered at the Victoria Fire Department’s Gala for Hope fundraiser on June 29.
