Doug spent a lot of time on Denman Island. He played table tennis and I have never met such an enthusiastic player. He'd bounce on his toes, waiting to receive your serve. It was like he was vibrating with happiness. He had a huge smile and was always kind and positive. On our small island and you know who has what car. I always look when a yellow car passes to see if I can wave to Doug.

My sister. Brother. and myself spent time with doug,Debbie. And sharna when we were growing up. Bruce and Brenda were very good friends with our parents. What I remember of Doug is he was a very nice guy. My heart goes out to his Dad Bruce for the loss of his only son. May Doug  rip. Would have posted this tribute earlier but just found out about Doug's passing
