Doug grew up in Sebringville Ontario and served as an ironworker for more than 40 years. He traversed Ontario and Canada building bridges (Burlington Bridge) and towers (CKX-TV Craig Television Tower in Hayfield Manitoba which is currently the tallest guyed-mast antenna structure in Canada). Doug was hard working and meticulous. He always had a project on the go.
Throughout his life, Doug was curious about so many different things. He had many interests including the farm, motorcycles, collectibles, current events and sports. He had an uncanny ability to recall names, places and events. Doug related easily to people. He enjoyed telling stories and listening to others about their lives and adventures.
