    Doug was a valuable and dedicated employee. He was hard working and a pleasant worker always walking aroung with a smile. Doug will be missed by his fellow co-workers and customers in the Macklin area. He would always go out of his way to say “Good Morning” which is very refreshing to see. Doug will be sadly missed by all of the people in Saskatchewan.

    Vera and family
    We were so saddened to get the news of Doug’s passing. Laverne
    sure enjoyed working with him at the bus barns and I too enjoyed
    getting the emails after he moved to Saskatchewan. He was too
    young to be taken and we surely will always remember him with that
    smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time and
    I am sure the wonderful memories of him now will become a treasure
    that you will hold dearly in your hearts forever. Deepest sympathy.

    Marion and families
