SHAW, Douglas Thomas P. Eng. McGill 1942 Peacefully Friday May 31, 2002 at St. Vincent's Hospital, Douglas Thomas Shaw age 82. Beloved husband of Elma Graham. Cherished father of Marilyn (Kevin O'Neill) and Graham Shaw (Julie). Loving grandfather "T.O.M." of Lori and Kelly O'Neill; Kinnon and Kiefer Shaw. Dear brother of Joyce Peters of Toronto. As the President of D.T. Shaw Company and Heinemann Electric Canada, Doug enjoyed the challenge of business with his valued employees and customers. He will be fondly remembered by the boys who enjoyed his leadership and good times in Glenmount Scout Troop, as well as the Saturday ski/bus trips for young people to the Laurentians. A keen ham radio operator, call letters VE2P0, he had friends worldwide. He proudly served in the Royal Canadian Signal Corps, 1942-45. His later years spent in Mont Tremblant were happy times for Doug enjoying the company of family and friends around his pool. The family is extremely appreciative of the care and devotion given to Doug by staff and volunteers, during the last two years at St. Vincent's Hospital. Family interment at Capital Memorial Gardens. A Mass in Memory, celebrating the life of Doug will be held Tuesday June 4, 2002 in Blessed Sacrament Church, Ottawa at 2 p.m. In Memoriam donations to Scouts Canada or St. Vincent's Hospital appreciated.
