Doug was one of the most exceptional men I've ever known! A super Dad to his three daughters, a loving granddad, and a very special cousin to those of us in Draper, VA...USA. His Mom was born in our area of Virginia and Doug, even though always having lived in Ontario and loving it, he never lost that touch of southern living and southern hospitality traits to all who knew him! He still enjoyed his Virginia visits with the chicken and dumplings, sausage gravy, and homemade biscuits. He was a very friendly person, who loved to host...whether it be playing cards with his buddies, fishing, cookouts and partying time with his family. We "southern folk" knew we were always welcome in his home and we truly always looked forward to their summer visits there.

He lost the love of his life, Carole, a few years ago...She was of the same mind as Doug...so very special! I'm sure they're loving the time they're spending together today.

'Your family in Virginia will always miss you, sugar, and look forward to seeing you and Carole on the other side! ....just wish we could have been able to tell you one more time how much we loved you and how special you were to us all!
