Sorry to hear of Dougs passing. He will be greatly missed.
so very sad of Doug’s passing, my family has been so lucky to know Doug and his family, what an amazing man always a smile on his face, full of laughter, while he was helping us by farming our land he was always ready to help our mom with her garden. Our boys always waited with so much excitement for him to come for they knew he would always take them for a tractor ride. Never a negative thought always positive and caring. He will be missed so much.

Mrs. Johnston and family, please accept my condolences on your loss. I knew Douglas and Mrs Johnston during their visits to the Oncology Clinic at Brampton Civic Hospital, where I volunteer, and it was always a delight when I knew they were in attendance. Of course we always discussed farming topics and weather. On one of their last visits they donated 4 bags of Werthers Caramels which are a favourite among all the patients. I will really miss seeing this lovely couple.
Kind regards, Keith Meaden.
