I was so sorry to hear of Doug's passing. My sincere sympathy and thoughts are with you and your family at this very sad time. Over the years, as a member of the Peterborough Police Service, our paths crossed many times. I was always impressed with Doug's professionalism. I found him friendly, honest, sincere and a pleasure to be around. We had many conversations both at work and at the rink during our grandson's hockey games. He was a super nice guy and will be missed.

Though we are unable to be there in this extremely difficult time, please know that you are all in our thoughts & prayers. My dad and brother are able to be there and both felt a strong connection to Doug. Unfortunately due to the miles between us, we didn't get the opportunity to see Doug as often as we would have liked..but he left a lasting impression with all of us..and we enjoyed each and every family get together we had with him. We loved him very much.
Bev, Sean, & Melanie we send our absolute deepest condolences and please know Doug will be very fondly remembered.
We send you love and light..you are all in our prayers.

So sad to hear this news.... best wishes from my family to yours....
A short memory about Doug...
On my first evening at Brampton O.P.P. Academy (13 September 1982 ) for orientation I met Doug for the first time. He was working out and pumping iron in the gym as was his passion at the time.. Doug and I spoke about the job, the things that where ahead not only for me but for my family. He gave me a great sense of the importance the position of Constable was. I carried his thoughts with me throughout my 31 year with the O.P.P. I was also lucky to work with Doug when I returned to Peterborough... Rest in Peace Dougie.....Rest in Peace... Jim

I hope that you and the entire family can find peace in the coming months as you continue to grieve the loss of Doug.
I was fortunate to have been able to spend a long time talking with Doug in November 2015 at my brother Roger's funeral. I always enjoyed talking with Doug over the years.

May the love and support of family and friends carry you through this difficult time.
