Douglas Leask Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 9 to Feb. 11, 2014.
Douglas Craigie Leask passed away in White Rock on January 23, 2014, at the age of 92. He led a full and incredible life which began on June 25, 1921 in Victoria, BC, and would take him to Europe to fight in WWII, to Richmond where he was a high school History and English teacher, and to Ocean Park where he was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. Doug dedicated his life to serving others and making the world a better, more peaceful place-values which he demonstrated throughout his life.

A graveside funeral service will be held February 15 at 2:00pm at the Hazlemere Cemetery (19198 16th Avenue, Surrey), followed by a celebration of life at 3:00pm at the Crescent Beach Legion (2643 128 St). Send condolences to http://memorial.yourtribute.com/Douglas-Craigie-Leask/story.aspx
