I was very saddened to hear the news about Doug. My sympathies to you Betty and all of your family.
Canada's mining community has lost one of it's best.
I was another member of Doug's Kilborn team in Vancouver. Doug (along with Roger Nendick) offered me my first job after graduation as a metallurgist at Kilborn in 1986. Jobs for young engineers were hard to come by at that time and I will always be grateful for the opportunity. As others have stated, under Doug's leadership Kilborn was a terrific company and a great group of people to work with.
The story goes further back - about one or two months after I started at Kilborn, Doug came into my office and seemed to recognize my surname from the past. After a few questions, it turned out that my father had provided Doug (and Ron Smith) a start in the mining industry by giving them their first (and I recall subsequent) summer jobs in the mine in Kirkland Lake, which helped them pay for university. Once again, my deepest sympathies.

With a great sadness I heard the news of Doug's passing. I had a privilege to know Doug in Vancouver and work with him for many years. A remarkable person! My deepest sympathies go to the family and his friends.

It was with great sadness that I learned of Doug's passing . As Doug used to like to remind people "Malcolm and I go back a long way.." In fact we first met in Cantung, NWT in 1965 when I as a green undergrad metallurgist and Doug had his first consulting assignment. He took me under his wing and taught me many ways to improve our plant. Many years later, in 1982, I joined Doug's team in Vancouver. At Kilborn Pacific, Doug brought together one of the best metallurgical consulting and design teams ever. He gave superb direction and latitude for each and every technical person to grow. Under his direction many successful projects were completed around the world. He was a mentor to all of us who had the privilege to work with him.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to Betty and all his family at this difficult time...

I am so sorry to hear about Doug's passing. I worked with Doug at Kilborn Engineering in the 80's and have fond memories of the group during Doug's time - such a special company with such great people. My thoughts go out to all of Doug's family and friends at this time.

We were so sorry to hear the news. Our deepest sympathies. We will always remember the good times that we had at Doug and Betty's house! Doug always took such good care of us and made us feel at home and part of the family. Doug was a genuine and caring person. We always appreciated his candour and humour. His legacy will live on through his family. Some of the nicest, down to earth people that you will ever meet. RIP Doug. You have earned it. With great sadness......Bonnie and Chris Molinski
