Dear Bea and family. So very sorry for your loss. Doug was always so friendly and had a great sense of humor.. What I will remember about Doug was that he would sit and talk to my daughter Valerie when she visited us from Toronto. She was having a hard time and he took time to listen to her. He will be missed. - Posted by: Raymond and Laura Paquin (Friend and Neighbour) on: Oct 22, 2016
