DOUGLAS EDWARD Obituary

EDWARD, B.Math, LL.B., LL.M. (HARVARD), DOUGLAS GORDON 1946 - 2020 After a valiant battle, passed away surrounded by his family, Thursday morning, February 13, 2020. Survived by his loving wife of over 50 years Maureen (nee Tatum), children Jeff (Karen), Jennifer (Terry), Jamie (Shannon) and Jadon. Doug loved his grandchildren (Alec, Davis, Cody, Oliver and Leah). Doug was an accomplished lawyer but his true passions lay with his family and the outdoors.

So sorry to hear of Doug's passing. While he didn't teach either of us at UofW he was the Faculty rep. on the Student Law Society while we were both on the executive. Later when I practised in Brampton and Mississauga, I frequently saw Doug in and around the courts and at PLA functions. He was always good humoured, warm and interested in what was going on in other's lives. He was very well liked at Law School with an excellent reputation as a teacher and later as a lawyer.
Our deepest condolences to Maureen and family.

Doug was the best lawyer we've had, humble and very respectable on every aspect of his profession! We will miss him so much. Tony, Dawn and Elaine Telles.

Mr. Edward was a very kind person and absolute gentleman. I always enjoyed chatting with him in his office. His sound advice and gentle manner will be sadly missed.

Doug was a classmate of mine at Queen's We graduated in 1973. He was a wonderful guy, a great student, and a stalwart of our in house Janis Joplin Hockey League. Time closes all, and our class numbers are dwindling. Yet, his memory will live on for all who knew and liked him. My sincerest and heartfelt condolences to Maureen and family.
