We were saddened to learn of Doug passing as we recently were informed. We met Doug and his first wife in Milliken on the same street where we lived in 1978 and then later in Markham with his second wife Linnel. Many parties and Markham firefighter dances over the years, as well as Christmas Eve gettogethers at our home in Markham, We all partied and had fun together. I remember after one of the Markham firefighter dances (back in the 80s), the next morning after I got up, looked out the front window and there was a firetruck with the ladder parked on my front lawn and was removed later in the day. When I asked Doug about it, he just smiled and said, it was a good dance. For years, Christmas Eve parties at our place was a good fun time for us all and Doug and Linnel were always there..
We had lost touch with Doug over the last years having seen him about 15 years ago and every so often, my wife and I would talk and share memories of all the events we had together.
Rest in peace our friend. In your memory, I will have a double double drink.
