Douglas Jardine

JARDINE, Douglas Haig August 31, 1917 December 1, 2006 Our beloved Uncle Doug passed away peacefully in the comforting surroundings of his family and Victoria Hospice. He is survived by his niece Geraldine Ben-Oliel, nephew Ernest Maxwell (Wilma) and grand-nephews Douglas, Jamie and Stephen Ben-Oliel. He was predeceased by his sister Jessie Helen (1987) and his brother-in-law Ernest Maxwell (1991). Doug was born in Montrose, Scotland and emigrated to Canada with his family in 1919. His working career began in Calgary as a postman. He served overseas with the Royal Canadian Navy from 1942 to 1945. He then went on to enjoy a teaching career, in Edmonton, at Ross Sheppard, Westmount School and McNally Composite. In 1982, Doug retired to Vancouver and continued to travel extensively. On his returns, he enjoyed sharing his tales and experiences with his family and friends. Other fond pastimes were walking, reading and composing poetry. We especially want to thank the doctors and nursing staff of RPI and Victoria Hospice at the Royal Jubilee Hospital for their kindness and loving care in his last days. A private celebration of his life will be held in the new year. As an expression of sympathy, a donation in Doug's memory may be made to the Canadian Liver Foundation, BC/Yukon Region, #109-828 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 1E2. 321864
