Death notice for the town of: Edmonton, Province: Alberta
I got to meet Doug last summer when he came home to PEI for a visit. He spent a lot of time with his dear friend and my fiancé Dave Connolly. The laughs they shared as they walked down memory lane….and oh the stories. Dave cherishes that time he got to spend with Doug. Both of us were saddened to hear of Doug’s passing. Please accept our sincere sympathies Brenda, Alex and Scott. Our thoughts are with you at this time ♥️
