I first met Mr. Finney at the Simcoe Hall Settlement House when I was growing up in the 60's.
We used to go there to play floor hockey and basketball.
He was a tough coach, but I learned lots of life lessons from him that I remembered throughout my life.
Thank you and rest in peace.

I have many memories of Doug through the years at the Legion.  My favourite ones though are of having fish and chips with him and working on puzzles together.  We'll meet again Doug and have a large glass of "water" and work on a puzzle.  It was an honour sir ❤️

Laurie, Lorne and Jake

Our deepest condolences on the passing of your dad/poppa.  Over the years, I loved seeing him all dressed in his uniform as he got into his car heading off to a meeting or Remembrance Day celebration.  Whenever, I saw him I always thanked him for his service, and he had a wonderful smile.

May the memories of his courage, and love bring comfort to your hearts in the days and years ahead.  If there is anything that we can do to support you in the coming days and weeks, please reach out.  

As you celebrate him, may you find peace and strength.  Look for signs from him and of him and be comforted knowing he is with you.

With Heartfelt Sympathy,

Lisa & Will

My condolences to you, Lorne, Laurie and Jake.  Thank you, Doug, for your service.

Lorne and family, very sorry to learn of Doug's passing. From those long gone days of minor baseball and hockey (and who can forget the Hollywood Rejects?) to his longtime involvement in the Legion, all members of the Legree family have been touched for decades by Doug's zest, passion and personality. He will be greatly missed. Brian

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Doug.  My parents were friends with Doug and enjoyed the trips he had planned through the Legion.  Doug went numerous times to see my dad when he was in the nursing home.  The angels gained a good man.

Dear Lorne, Donna and families,

So sorry to hear of your dads passing.
May you find comfort in the cherished moments you shared together.

With deepest sympathy,
Lisa

I was sorry to hear today of the passing of Doug.  I have very fond memories of  Doug through the kid’s hockey, the Legion and the good stories he used to share.  I am proud to have known him he was always so enjoyable to be with and a veteran, we are losing that real connection with the past an amazing generation of people who knew how to work through any adversity.
My dad Bernie has many great memories of being with Doug through Legion events, trips to Ottawa for remembrance day ceremonies and the Korean war veterans’ association also the odd road trip my dad  mentioned  to me.
Again, I’m so sorry about your loss and I'm thinking about you and your family with fond memories and you are  in my prayers.


Will Lacey

Dear Lorne, Donna and families,
We remember your dad’s last visit with us and the time he spent with our neighbour Frank Bayne who was also a Korean veteran. Your dad’s dedication to Canada, to the Korean vets and the Royal Candian Legion will remain a shining example of service for all of us. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
Love and prayers,
Paul and Andrea Latour
