Douglas McCloy Obituary
Doug was born in Vancouver, BC to Murray and Elenor McCloy. He spent his youth growing up on Dumfries Street and he eventually became a reserve officer in the Armed Forces. Doug moved to Kamloops in 1968 to take an apprenticeship position with Kamloops Glass, which then led to him being employed with the Kamloops-Thompson School District as a locksmith and glazier for over 20 years.
Doug will always be remembered and associated with vintage cars and the Kamloops chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada. His love of cars began when he earned enough money to buy his first car - a 1948 Dodge coupe. A pride and joy of Doug's was his restoration of a 1926 Model T Ford. Doug's passion for old cars continued when in 2010 he purchased a 1966 Ford Mustang GT. Doug will ever be present at local car shows and especially the image of him sitting in his chair during Hot Nite in the City.
The family would like to thank Dr. Harold Stefanyk, and the ICU staff at the Royal Inland Hospital for their care and attention to Doug.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 16th. 1:00-:300 pm at Orchard Walk Community Centre, 3281 Valleyview Drive, Kamloops, BC.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I was one of Doug's neighbor's in Orchards Walk. Every time I would go outside Doug would give some words of wisdom. Doug was not one to mix his words, our family misses him already, anyone that had a chance to have Doug in their life's had a gift.

Met Doug at AW when we moved here 5yrs ago. Had great conversations with him . Admired has determination to get out of Berwick. Tough Irish. He had no filter, if one of the guys talked to loud Doug would call him out. Enjoyed his mischievous laugh if he liked something in the conversation s. Saw the passion he had for cars. Very glad to meet him and be hanging out at AW a few days a week for the last part of his life. He was one good guy!!
