Douglas Guthrie Obituary
Doug is survived by his wife of 54 years, Margaret Skinner; his daughters: Carol, Barbara (Terry Drew) and Jill (Paul Whightman); his sisters-in-law: Mary (George Joy) of Guelph, ON and Martha of PEI. He was a proud and loving grandfather to Ethan, Marina and Eli as well as a loving uncle to many nieces and nephews. Also left to mourn are many friends and colleagues, as his reach within the community was long after a life of teaching, coaching and volunteering.
He was predeceased by his brothers: John (Joan) and Scott of New Brunswick and by his sister-in-law: Nancy Skinner (Murray Campbell) of Sherbrooke.
Family and friends are welcome to meet at Steve L. Elkas Complex (4230 Bertrand-Fabi, Sherbrooke) on Saturday, April 7, 2018 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. followed by brief service and reception at the complex. A graveside service will be held at the Elmwood Cemetery, Sherbrooke at a later date.
As a memorial tribute, donations to the Dr. W.J. Klinck Foundation, 1515 Pleasant View, Sherbrooke, QC, J1M 0C6 would be appreciated.

I have wonderful memories of Doug Guthrie.
He was larger than life to me, but he was also very kind and caring. He will definitely be missed.
