I was a student of Doug's at O'Neill. Not very dedicated to learning but Doug gave me every break and encouragement he could. I quit before getting my grade 12 but I needed it for a job several years later. He was a VP at O'Neill by then and he not contacted my potential employer but worked out a plan to get the job and my Grade 12. This turn out to be my career job for Thirty years and I retired as the Senior Manager of Commercial Properties for Ontario. I can't express how much I admired and am thankful for having a real true gentleman in my life.

I loved his stories, his humility, his deep respect for kids in his charge, his expression of appreciation for staff doing quality work, his dedication to Marian, the joy he showed when watching his grandchildren, the faith he shared and lived in full view.
Our heartfelt solace and prayers of comfort for Marian and the family.
