My sincerest condolences to Doug’s family.
I worked with Doug at Confederation Building and I have to say he was a good guy who was who he was, a very honest, down to earth person.
Deepest sympathy to All the Family. I have fond memories of Doug, the friendly mail man, from my working days in Confederation Building. Always had a smile and of course loved having a chat. RIP my friend.
