In his younger years, Doug played hockey and baseball. Later in life Doug would still enjoy these sports, as well as many others such as football and curling, although this time he would be cheering on the Riders and Blue Jays from his armchair.  Doug also discovered gardening, growing mostly tomatoes, carrots and potatoes. Doug had a green thumb and was very proud of his vegetables.  He also enjoyed hunting with his brothers, as well as travelling to places such as Reno and Alaska with family members. Doug loved family gatherings. He enjoyed the visiting, storytelling and card playing that took place. He was lovingly referred to as “Uncle Buck” by his nieces and nephews with whom he was close to. Doug was a very caring person and was always ready to lend help in whatever capacity was needed.  He cared for his mother so that she could remain in her own home in her last years. As well, caring for a cousin when he was ill, taking him to appointments and supporting all of his other needs. Doug had strong political views and wasn’t scared to share them with others.
