Doug Baxendale

I just found the founder Robert and Ernie of Baxendales Garage. Esso My family bought this garage from them. My father had bicycle shop in one of many them dwellings around the garage. I knew Doug at a young age, but Doug's son Jeffery work or helped Mr. Bill Wassenaar at the bike shop. My name is Donny Wassenaar I liked Jeff like a big brother I never had. Someday I will find Murillo a home away from home. R.I.P. Mr. Doug Baxendale.

In the early 1960's when I was 14, I started working at the Baxendale Bros garage in Murillo. Doug's uncle Ernie, who co-owned the garage with Doug's dad Bob, was my uncle too. Ernie would pick me up in Fort William on Saturday mornings and take me with him to the garage in Murillo where I would help out; pump gas, fix flats, change oil. I bought an old motorcycle. Ernie let me keep it at the garage and helped me repair it over many many months. When it came time to start it I was struggling...

Dear Susan, Ron and family,
We are so very sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad and Grandpa. We will both remember him with fondness. May happy memories bring you comfort at this sad time.
In friendship and sympathy,
