We have many memories of Doug over the years! He was always up for a drink, a chat, a good laugh and always made sure to ask how we were doing. He will be missed around the table of the ‘crazy ladies,’ card games, camping and supper out, but he’ll be watching above with that giant smile, sending cheers to the gang below.
Keeping you in our thoughts.

Janet Siddall, Britain Smith & Brad McLean
Jane, Lianna, Chad, Jennie, and families,
There are really no words to express how sad the passing of Doug makes me. I have so many wonderful memories of Doug, many of them inappropriate to share here, but everyone of them end in laughter. But my favorite memories of DUUUUGG will always include our healthy banter that started the minute we saw each other. This will forever leave an obvious absence at the future Urbshott Family Gatherings, which I so gently insert myself into.
I miss him already.
Sending you all the sincerest sympathies, and biggest hugs.
Love you all,
js
