Personal note from From Doug's Family

A Celebration of Doug's life will take place early in 2026. Once we have worked out the details, we will post on this website as well as our social media pages. We would love to see friends and family from all chapters of his life come and celebrate this amazing man. Stay tuned for details.

We would also love it if you share any pictures or stories of Doug on the Memories page of this website. He will live on in all our hearts with love and laughter and great memories.

One last thing, on the "GIVE" tab on this page, there are only US charites. Should you wish to honour Doug, we would encourage you to support the North Shore Hospice with a donation in Doug's name. https://www.northshorehospice…
We can't express enough how the staff and lovely environment helped us all through a very difficult time and we would like to give back in this way.
