Doug was the first person I met at Scotiabank before I even started there as we road the bus in from Sackville. He was a great guy, wonderful storyteller, and had the best laugh. Before he retired he let me record it as my e-mail notification so I would still hear him everyday. This is sad news for everyone who knew him. RIP Dougie.
