SHINOZAKI, Doug
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Douglas Miyoshi Shinozaki on Sunday March 23, 2014. Doug was admitted to Toronto General Hospital a few days prior with what appeared to be pneumonia related to his long- standing condition of lupus. A private funeral was held on Tuesday, April 1 with Doug being interred at Park Lawn Cemetery in Toronto next to his parents, Toranosuke Shinozaki and Miye Shinozaki (née Kaneda). Doug was born in Carmi, British Columbia on November 3rd, 1945 and grew up in Hamilton, Ontario. He retired from the Mechanical & Materials Engineering department at The University of Western Ontario in July 2011 as Professor of Materials Engineering. Having worked at UWO for over thirty years, Doug was the most senior person in the M&ME department at the time and was bestowed with the distinction of being named Professor Emeritus. Prior to that, he worked at universities in Manitoba and New York City. Doug completed his formal education in 1972 having earned a Bachelor of Engineering Physics and Masters of Science (Metallurgy) from McMaster University and a Doctor of Philosophy (Materials) from The University of Oxford (Brasenose College). Doug also pursued post- doctorate studies at The University of Bristol and was proud to have been licensed as a Professional Engineer in Ontario and Manitoba. Doug is survived by his brother and sisters, Ken (Betty), Teresa Bates (Paul), and Margaret, his nephews and niece, Jeff (Jenn), Mark (Marie), and Leslie Bates, and grand-nephews and -nieces, Matthew, Talia, Nicole, and William.
