Dougie was one of kind. Like many others have already said, I want to echo the same and say how nice a person he was. Always kind, loved to talk and had an infectious laugh, I can still hear it to this day! I had the pleasure working with Doug back when it was still Kitchener Beverages on Fairway Rd. He was my trainer and taught me how to drive the trucks. He even took me to my driving test that officially got me my DZ licence. Doug was a dedicated Pepsi employee, no doubt there! He has touched so many lives out there and will have left a lasting impression. You´ll be missed greatly Dougie. RIP and take it easy up there Dougie!

I was lucky enough to be one of Dougs many account merchandisers over his 40+ years with Pepsi, he always had my back and was always able to put a smile on my face, he loved to guess what I was having for lunch that day, and teasing me if my fiancée made something "boring" lol, a short phone call asking what my task was for the day could sometimes take up to an hour to complete having us both laughing and joking on the phone the whole time, doug was like having a second father at work, his positive attitude, his heart of gold made him a treat to be with at work, especially when he would laugh out loud in the middle of walmart at whatever little remark he would say to me while I was working, RIP Doug, you will be missed thank you for being a great friend and role model.

Doug was probably the nicest guy you could ever meet. Always positive and never showing his displeasure with his peers or customers. For the last 40 years I could call him a good friend. I would always enjoy our conversations between calls. It was almost impossible to hang up on him. It was always one more thing or ya ya ya. His laugh was so pure and humerus. Even in retirement he would touch base or be on a three with Gord and I. You will be missed my friend, not only from coworkers but also your customers. Rest In Peace my friend and keep those shelves filled up stairs.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Doug for the past 30years and have worked together for the past 17 and he became one of my best friends,I will miss our daily phone calls and laughs. We shared many trips to hockey games, blue jay games and lots of other events. Dougie had a contagious laugh and would always make me smile. He touched the lives of everyone he met, he just loved life and Pepsi. RIP my friend until we meet again.
