Snider, Douglas Edward
November 16, 1950-June 20, 2022
In my loving arms, our gentle giant has “sailed into the mystic” .
There are no words that can adequately express this family’s deep gratitude for the extraordinary love, care and compassion provided by our Balmoral neighbours and all the amazing people at Campbell House Hospice. They are the most exceptional team with whom Doug and I have had the privilege of sharing the last few weeks. Judy xox

In Doug’s own words:
I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I penned this farewell:
“And I say to myself, what a wonderful world”.
I have lived a blessed life. Parents who were salt of the earth, two precious children, Mark and Talia, who I loved with all my heart , and four beautiful grand children, Mac, Everly, Adalyn and Holden, who brought me so much joy. My siblings who always loved and supported me, especially Barry (Donna) and Don (Judy) who I gained so much comfort from over the last few years. To my many dear friends in Kitchener and Collingwood, I deeply appreciated your kindness and support.
“But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one compares to you” – Judy – “my friend, my lover, my woman and my wife”. I loved music and we shared that love; I found joy in each and every day and we shared that joy. There was never a more perfect dance partner for me. I could not have asked for anyone better to share this last journey with than my sweetheart, my angel, and I am so very thankful for the deep abiding love we had. Judy was the centre of my life and there are no words to express how privileged and thankful I am for that and grateful that I was accepted as part of her family who I grew to love and respect, as they clearly love and respect each other. More than anything, I love and treasure family so I fervently hope that you, Mark Michelle, Adalyn and Holden; Talia Kevin, Austyn, Zoe, Mac and Everly; Adrienne, Mike, Max and Zack; Kelly, Rod, Kessa, Kierra and Keaghan; and Scott, Jami, Quinn, Seth and Cameron will love, respect, support and hold steadfast to each other and find the joy in life each and every day. Please take good care of my Judy.. “in my life, I love you more.”
