From being born with club feet, a grade 8 education, starting full-time work at 16 the successes he achieved are unmeasurable. If you had met Doug, you enjoyed his company whether you were family, co-worker, friend, neighbor or just an acquaintance. He was a loving, caring husband of 71 years to Dorothy French. He was a devoted, caring father to 3 loving children, Janet (Archie Taylor), Carolyn (Kevin Copithorne) and James (Diane Falik). He saw coming into this world, 7 grandchildren, Bradley, Bryan, Brett, David, James, Victoria, and Cole and 11 great-grandchildren. He was the eldest of 7 siblings and brother-in-law to 4. His time here is done and now he guides us from above.

Thoughts, prayers, and condolences can be addressed to Thornton Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Centre @ 1200 Thornton Rd. N., Oshawa, Ontario, L1J 0C9, or on their website. There will be a small immediate family service and celebration.

He loved you all.
