Born 1921-2005, Passed away peacefully at Milton District Hospital with his family at his side on Tuesday, January 25th, 2005, at the age of 84. Beloved husband and best friend of Merle (nee McIntyre). Loving father of sons Craig (Sue) and Bradley (Lise). Proud and devoted 'Poppy' of grandchildren Matthew, Mark, Sarah and Allana. Dearest brother to his close sister Dorothy. Predeceased by his loving brother Gord (Aileen) and sister Barb (Al). Sadly missed by his adoring nieces and nephews Cliff (Avison), Patty (Doug), Maureen (Ray), Doug (Sandy). Also survived by his American nieces and nephews Karen (Bobby), Craig, Ross, Jeanine (George), Jennifer (Sal) and Brian. Many happy and humorous memories shared with sister in laws and brother in laws Barb and Scott, Jeanne and Randy. Doug has left a lifetime of inspiration to his many grand nieces and nephews. Among his greatest passions were no doubt his fun loving family, his music, his fellow musicians, his hours on the drums, his obsession for golf and hockey, his interest in everyone's life and his extensive memories of World War II shared with his old navy buddies. Of course, our fondest memories will always be his attempt at corny jokes and his incredible talent as a singer and musician. There will be a party in heaven and Doug will be smiling as he leads the band! Visitation on Sunday from 5 to 8 pm at the R.S. Kane Funeral Home (6150 Yonge Street, at Goulding, south of Steeles).
