Doug will also be remembered by all those who knew him for his great love of music, history, language, travel, his own family history and, of course, federal and provincial politics. Doug also enjoyed his many years of membership as a member of the choir of the First Presbyterian Church in Pembroke. Doug is fondly remembered by his nephews, nieces and the numerous members of his extended family, living in New Brunswick, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, England, Scotland, Australia and the United States. A Memorial Service will be held for Doug at the First Presbyterian Church, 257 Pembroke St. W., Pembroke, Ontario on Saturday, April 26th at 11 a.m. (In lieu of flowers, donations to the Pembroke Symphony Orchestra or to charitable organizations promoting the preservation of the environment would be appreciated).
