Bev, George and Heidi:

We are so saddened by the news of Doug’s passing. Last evening we sat and remembered the wonderful times we had together in our early married lives with our first ever neighbours of 53 years ago who became such treasured friends. Bill & Anne McIsaac

Condolence from Wayne James on September 5th, 2019 4:41 PM

I still remember my first meeting with Uncle Doug at Grandmas 100th Birthday. He was definitely the Patriarch of the Zoethout Family. My second visit was in Fergus at Uncle Terry’s. Uncle Doug made us all laugh out loud. All I can add to this story is there was a bath tub involved in the mix. Uncle Doug will be missed by family, friends & colleagues.
Safe journey, rest in peace…
Love from: Wayne Date James & Family
