where he was captain of his football team at Vaughan Road Collegiate

in Metallurgical Engineering in 4T4.
He held executive positions with Westinghouse Canada in Defense
Apparatus, the Motor Division, and laterally the Atomic Power
Division in Port Hope. He served as joint chair of the American
and Canadian Nuclear Power Associations in 1968.
A fine athlete he enjoyed football, hiking, scuba-diving, skiing
and golf at the Oakville Golf Club, badminton and tennis at the
Oakville Club; Doug was also an avid swimmer at his beloved Balsam
Lake and in their condo pool in Florida. Dad first took up tennis
in his mid-forties at Long Point and enjoyed the sport so much
he formed a committee and funded the construction of a new second
court in the centre lands. His enthusiasm for the sport and initiative
led to the existence of two excellent courts enjoyed by the cottagers
extensively. The Association in his honour have named the annual
Cup and Saucer mixed doubles championship the "Tough Trophy".
Upon his retirement he and Betty enjoyed many years of travel,
to Europe, China, Russia, Indonesia and many cruises in the Caribbean,
barge trips along the canals of France were a highlight.
His special delights included reading in his solarium on Spruce
Street, his residence for sixty years, listening to classical
music in the sunroom of his cottage on Long Point, Balsam Lake
and discussing philosophy with his many grandchildren during
family dinners and parties.
Border Collies, Raleigh, Collette, and Bailey were a big part
of his life as was his interest in painting where many of his
family have treasured possessions of his talent. Many of Doug's
Friends have tokens of his artistic ability, sketches and cards
etched on birch bark were his forté. For over 20 years Dad encouraged
and organized family parties at Long Point, memorable events
that will always be remembered and cherished by all of us. His
family was his greatest dedication and our love and respect will
be his finest achievement.
Our special thanks to Doctor Ken Collett, for his care and support
to Doug and the family, he is truly a credit to his profession.
We also want to thank the many compassionate caregivers at the
Ian Anderson house for their dedication and commitment in making
Doug comfortable and safe during his stay at their Hospice. The
Ian Anderson House is a fine facility offering a quality and
dignified last stay and their efforts towards serving the positive
and their beautiful environment make for comfortable quality
end-of-life care.
Following his wishes there will be a family service only. In
lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer
Society or the Ian Anderson House 430 Winston Churchill Blvd.,
