Also lovingly remembered by Michelle's parents Michael and Dianne Maher. Special thank you to dear friends Sarah and Sean for helping provide the loving care he needed during his final days at home. Doug's career as an Engineer and Business consultant took him to many places. He spent nine years living in P.E.I before returning to Ontario and finally settling in Hamilton. He adored seeing new places yet found great serenity in the beautiful garden he so lovingly created with Michelle. Doug spent the last years working alongside his wife with Image Party Place and Sprinkles on Top bringing smiles to so many children and being an important part of the Downtown Stoney Creek BIA where he brought many events to life. He will be fondly remembered for his kind, thoughtful ways and beautiful smile. As per Doug's wishes cremation has taken place. A Celebration of his Life will be held at a later date when it is safe to do so. In lieu of donations, please take a moment and do a random act of kindness for someone over the next weeks in Doug's memory.
