Douglas Luther Minke
November 6 1946- Dec 3, 2022
IN LOVING MEMORY
Doug Minke of Toronto, passed away peacefully in his 77th year at Hillhouse Hospice in Richmond Hill, after battling cancer for the past two years. Beloved father of Douglas Minke Jr. (Stacy Hammett), Jennifer Daoust (Bill) and Candice Hughes (Sean). Loving grandfather to eight grandchildren. Dear brother of Dave Minke and Lynne Tate (Ron). Dear uncle to James Pickering (Katie).
At Doug’s request no visitation or services will be held. His family recently celebrated his 76th birthday and life with him. Doug fought this disease to the end defying medical logic at times.
His family will miss him greatly, but are comforted that his suffering has ended and he has reunited with his father, mother and younger sister Faye, that have passed on before him.
Doug was a huge Toronto Maple Leafs fan and a car lover, having owned 4 vehicles at one time (F-150, Trans Am and two Mustangs), but those that knew him best would say he was not the best driver.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hillhouse Hospice hillhousehospice.com/
Please feel free to share your photos, memories, and tributes of Doug as we remember him.
