Douglas McKerrow Obituary
Douglas grew up in England and moved to Canada after earning an engineering degree.
There he met and married Margaret. They moved to Arizona, then to California, where they raised their four children. Douglas was a Life Member of San Diego Yacht Club. After years of retirement in California, they moved to South Carolina to be near family.
Douglas earned an MBA and traveled the world while working for Solar Gas Turbines. He loved to tell a good story and share his zest for life. His laughter and gentle spirit will be deeply missed. His memory will live in the hearts of his loving wife, three daughters, sons and daughter in law, five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Douglas was preceded in death by his son, a son-in-law, a great-granddaughter and his two brothers.
