DOUGLAS VINING NORTHCOTT McCUTCHEON

September 28,1942 – January 10, 2025 After 82 years of a life well lived, Doug passed away peacefully at home in Collingwood, with family by his side. Beloved husband of the late Susan (Craig) McCutcheon; cherished father of Candy (Michael Latimer) and Craig (Elizabeth). Devoted "Grandpa Doug" to Christopher and Charlie Dinnick, Aryana, Claude and Malcolm; and step-grandfather to Tori, Thomas and Caitlin Latimer. Doug is survived by his brother, Fred (Jeanne); sisters-in-law, Brenda and Margo McCutcheon, Candy Holmes; and his many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents, Wallace and Eva; his brother, James; sisters, Susan and Barbara; and his infant daughter, Stephanie. Always an entrepreneur, Doug was best known for starting Great Lakes Helicopters and then Rosedale Livery, an international car service. A passion for guns lead to many years spent as a member on the Canadian Skeet Shooting Team winning a World Cup Silver Medal in 1995 and Bronze Medal in the 1998 Pan American Games. Having lived four years in Nassau, Bahamas, with Candy and Craig in the late-70's, Doug and Susan made lifelong friends and were known to frequently stay in "The Dougout" for their many fun filled visits. In 2017, Doug reconnected with the second love of his life, Jennifer Rogers. With their two dogs and one cat, they enjoyed his later years at his cottage at Big Bay Point, Lake Simcoe, and their home in Collingwood, ON, where Doug was amazed by the "lack of traffic." To quote Jennifer, "Douglas Vining Northcott McCutcheon lived life large, set an example for inner goodness that was a beacon, and left on the same terms." Thank you for the outpouring of love and memories, Doug will be well missed by all his many friends and the extended McCutcheon, Craig, Rogers and McIntosh families, and of course, Johnnie Walker. "Keep Walking." A celebration of Doug's life will be held in the spring/summer.
