Doug leaves behind his love Heather and the family they created with such loving hearts. Doug is a proud father of Kristina (Josh Wilcox) and Victoria (Asa Colman). Papa leaves behind his grandsons Ciaran and Aodhan (Wilcox). He also leaves behind his brothers Bruce (Joanne) and Richard (Cathy), and stepbrother and sisters to Catherine, John (Ruth) and Kelly (Arnold). Doug was also uncle to many nieces and nephews. Doug was predeceased by his father Brian, mother Lois and stepmother Arlene.
Doug’s love for sports and the outdoors was only surpassed by the love he has for his family. He made life-long friends while playing football, baseball, golf, hockey, etc. Doug was also a keen fisherman. Some of his fondest memories were his road trips to Newfoundland and family reunions at the cottage.
After working 29 years at Northern Elevator and TK Elevator, Doug will be fondly remembered by colleagues and friends across Canada. He was looking forward to retiring when he could enjoy his love of carpentry.
His departure comes as a great shock and is gravely felt by the entire family and countless others who knew Doug. The family appreciates the support during this difficult time and would appreciate donations to Heart and Stroke Foundation (www.heartandstroke.ca) in memory of Doug.
