We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts.
Much love.
Anne-Marie and family,
so sad to hear of Doug’s passing. I had not been in contact with him for many years but still considered Doug a good friend, whom I spent many days in Goderich with. We played a lot of tennis together, and Doug was always there when help was needed.
My thoughts are with you.
Dear Lesley and Jim, our deepest sympathies in the loss of your brother. It’s so very hard to lose a brother. We hope that your memories of Doug give you comfort as time passes. Condolences to Doug’s family.
I’m so very sorry to hear of Doug’s passing. Big hugs to all of you.
I hope you are at peace Mr. Blacker ❤️
