Douglas Preston Bennett

great sense of humor, an infectious laugh that made you smile. He was an avid collector of many things

especially Antique radios. Fiercely loving and dedicated to his wife, children, extended family and

friends. He passed away suddenly and unexpectedly March 26, 2021.

Doug was blessed to maintain a career in water filtration that spanned 50 years and started alongside

his father, Bob, and was considered an expert in his field.

Doug loved cooking for his Wife and Children, was a high school athlete and loved to watch and follow

his favorite sports teams. Doug loved going to the mountains and spending time at the sea, enjoying a

walk on the shore and beachcombing for hidden treasures. The simple pleasures in life brought him the

greatest joy. He was the ultimate self-taught do-it yourself handy man and he had the uncanny ability to

fix anything. He loved to tinker and could always be found in his man cave working on something.

Doug was restoring a ‘56 Nomad, a car he had while in high school. The car was nearly complete. The

family plans to ride with his ashes in his dream car as soon as the project is finished.

Doug’s generous, loving spirit will be missed by all who knew him and loved him.

Doug was a loving husband of 31 years, proud father and grandfather and is survived by his wife, Sandy;

his children, Colin Bennett (Amy), Brian Bennett (Megan) and Mary Vera (Lucio); Grandchildren, Colin Jr.,

Cole, Owen, Elsie, Victor and Lena.

Celebration of life to be held at a later date.
