Uncle Doug, you weren’t just family but our neighbour as well and one that we could count on when Dad and Mom needed something, you were the first person there! We are so ever thankful for being Mom’s mailman since Dad’s passing. All of the things you did and your humorous ways of making us laugh never went unnoticed! We will miss you dearly!

Another Angel has gotten his wings. Uncle Doug you were dearly loved, you fought with dignity and grace and in that battle you asked how everyone was doing a selfless man who truly earned those wings. We will forever cherish those moments we shared. Fly with the rest of the angels and roam freely dear uncle. R.I.P. Uncle Doug until we meet again ❤
