Douglas MARSHALL Obituary

DOUGLAS MARSHALL November 26, 1934 - July 29, 2020 85 Years old Passed away peacefully after a wonderful and satisfying life. Douglas was born in Toronto on November 26, 1934. After excelling in school he graduated University of Toronto with a P.Eng in 1958 and wore his iron ring with much pride. He had many jobs and delighted in sharing his vast knowledge of all things with those he met along the way. A brilliant mind with an insatiable desire to learn, Doug always enjoyed a good chat and had a definite opinion on all matters. He was predeceased by his true love Mary Anne (nee Zalapski) in 2005 and leaves their daughter Cindy Marshall (Carl Herrmann), sister Judy (John), brothers Murray (Anne Marie), Ken (Ruth), nieces and nephews, cousins and their families and a vast array of dear friends near and far. He was beyond proud of his daughter and cherished every moment of adventure he spent together with her and Carl. He was an important part of so many of our lives, with so many memories and laughter he will be missed and always close to our hearts. A celebration of Doug's life will be announced at a later date.

Doug Marshall was one of the finest gentlemen I have known. He has shown me a graciousness that I can only hope to approximate. I am so sad that I could not say goodbye. I am proud to have known and worked with Doug. I will miss you DRT.

It was a privilege to get to know Doug a little bit and enjoy his incredible wit and positive outlook on life. He will be genuinely missed by all at our support group meetings.

Our heart goes out to the Marshall family from our family with love.

We remember all the good times we had at the cottage sitting on the deck having a great conversation over a glass of wine.

Doug was a great gentleman and will be in our heart and memory forever.

Dearest Doug.
It is easy to see where Cindy got her humor, intelligence and compassion.
Thank you for venturing outside in the worst weather just to say hello.
I will think of you when the daffodils bloom.

Dear Dough with a heavy heart I say goodbye to a true gentleman and loving father . I always enjoyed your visits with my boys watching hockey games cheering them on in victory and your words of encouragement in defeat. Sunday dinners were a highlight in my University days Cindy and I would drive up from our house in the market to enjoy a dinner and great conversation. You were a great second father to all Cindy's friends you will always be in our memories . Thank you for helping me in my last year of studies when I was working on my thesis.. I came home from school and you were waiting on the porch in the rain with a IBM computer and a roasted chicken. Driving down to visit with the birth of my first son . Dancing together at my wedding. Long conversations with my husband. Visits to the cottage. Thank you for your kindness I will miss you .Susan Gibson Lee xxx ooooo

We were lucky to know Doug, his wit, curiosity, love for the stars and a great sense of humour. He was able to laugh with you at you and at himself. He adored Cindy and loved being with Carl. He will be missed by many.

Doug was our very dear friend and we will miss him more than words can say. We had many good times together at his Kawartha Lake cottage with Mary Anne and in Toronto -- especially our dinners together at Trio! Doug was one of a kind and we enjoyed discussing many controversial topics while consuming lots of good food & drink -- New Year's lobster included). Doug, we miss you already but you and Mary Anne will never be far from our hearts.
