I worked with Doug at the Bank of Canada on the OSM Team in the 90s-2000s. He was a great and knowledgeable man, an expert in the field. We have awesome memories of him on the Team! He will be missed. My deepest sympathies to the family.

Doug was one of the finest gentleman that I ever worked for at the Bank of Canada. Always kind, compassionate, caring and professional. He was always generous with compliments for a job well done. My most heart-felt condolences to his family to his family. It was my honour to have known him and to have worked with him.

My heart is heavy at the loss of this wonderful man. Taught me so much and would take time to share his knowledge and gave me a wonderful opportunity. He will be desrly missed. Also was not aware that Daphne had passed on she too was a fantastic lady. The world is a little less brighter. Deepest condolences to the family.
