DOUGLAS RAE Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 18, 2017.
DOUGLAS JAMES (DOUG) RAE Passed away suddenly at his home in Toronto on Friday, February 10, 2017 at the age of 57. Doug was predeceased by his mother, Norah. Doug is survived by his precious daughter Carly and her mother Shelly. He is lovingly remembered by his father Alan (Nora Bowman), brothers John, Rob (Cathy) and Bruce (Pearl) and sister-in-law Karen Trenton (Mike). He will be fondly remembered as a special uncle to his nephew David Rae and nieces Kaitlyn Trenton, Jessica McCormack (Elliott) and Carolyn Rae. Doug enjoyed sports, especially golf, curling and squash. He often joked and prided himself on the fact that he knew a lot about nothing and amazed others with his ability to win at all games of trivia. He instilled his great love and passion for music to his daughter Carly and more than anything he loved spending time with her. A Celebration of Doug's life will be held at the Donalda Club, 12 Bushbury Drive, Toronto, on Wednesday, February 22nd at 3:00 p.m. Doug loved kids and so in lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the George Hull Centre for Children and Families or KidsHelpPhone. Condolences for the family may be offered online at ogdenfuneralhome.com

Mr. Rae, I always enjoyed our shifts together at work. You were very well liked, such an excellent sense of humour...always had me and everyone laughing - you helped shifts go by quickly and enjoyably. It was a real pleasure to have known you, and to have worked with you.

I worked with Dougie Rae at the Don Jail. He was always in good humour, smiling, and I very much enjoyed working with him. So very sorry to hear of his passing. God Speed, Doug.

We worked together at the Don Jail he always impressed with his "fun facts" on various topics. He always get excited when he talked about curling and "throwing the rock". My condolences.

We were very sorry to hear of Doug's passing. It was always a pleasure to be in his company and a privilege to work with him as a Correctional Officer. Doug was often in good humour, very humane and always a true gentleman. He often spoke proudly and affectionately of his daughter. He has and will be missed. Our prayers go out to Doug and his family.

I am very sorry for your loss. We worked together at the Don Jail and Doug was a good officer and liked by all who worked with him. One thing that I recall was how proudly he would speak about his daughter and wife.
