Doug was born in Trail, BC on Jan. 15, 1928. When he was 2 years old his family moved to Quadra Island. At age 15 Doug began working on a commercial fish boat. He loved fishing and continued to work in the industry until he retired.
In 1949 Doug married Lorna, who was the love of his life and wife for 59 years. Doug & Lorna liked to travel. They travelled to Hawaii, Florida, California, New Zealand, Australia and the Caribbean.
Doug also enjoyed visiting with friends in the coffee shop & trying his luck at the slot machines once in a while. He will be remembered for the great stories he told about his life & the "old days" on Quadra. Doug will also be remembered for his friendly nature, big heart & being a loving husband, dad and grandpa.
