I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Doug, my classmate from grade 2 through high school. Through our elementary school years, Doug was a close friend, both of us biking to the Binder Twine, hitch hiking to caddie at the Bolton G.C., and even swimming at the downtown dam. I remember Doug even had a pet raccoon. Doug was my teammate on our school track team. With those long legs, he was an awesome athlete.
Doug is one of the originals who still lived in our subdivision for over 50 plus years, while I moved on to Oakville a few years ago.
My sincere compassion extends to the whole Hewton family.
