Dear Gail, Bryce and Sean, I have many fond memories of the chats and telephone calls to Florida on a regular basis in the past. Doug was so very proud of his boys and often talked of them. Bonnie was instrumental in finding Doug's car keys at a show in Jemseg a couple years ago and Doug was so appreciative although he didn't want her moving his seat:)))) I have lost a good and true friend. As Doug would say at the end of every call...... God bless !!!

You probably don't remember me, Doug and I worked at CGE together and had great fun. It was always exciting when his new Chev would arrive and we'd go for a test spin. We lost track of each other as he moved on to SJPF and me to Canada Post. We ran into each other at the Station Street hockey arena and reminisced of our good old days at CGE and Mgr Bob Myers. Please pass on my condolences to all the family. Hugh Graham St Andrews, NB

Roger Clowater posted a condolence
Gail, I am so sorry to hear about Doug's passing. My condolences to you and your family. Spent a fair amount of time riding around in an old car with one of my favorite Sgt's. We enjoyed a lot of discussions on a variety of subjects. I liked Doug and respected his views, mentorship and direction. Thought about him a lot since leaving Saint John. One of the things that you might remember were the old cobblestones I think I spent hours loading into a trailer or pickup. Of course you couldn't just throw in, they had to be just so.... Good memories.
