My God Father and Uncle Doug

When I was born, Aunt Shirley had already been married to Uncle Doug and had Lori and Paul. We all lived in the same apartment building in Toronto. I knew the route to their apartment in my Walker, in which Uncle Doug would lift me up in and give me a squeeze, Walker and all! I would shake with a little giggle when I saw him. Growing up we spent what felt like every weekend at Aunt Shirley and Uncle Doug's house. Summers by the pool listening to nothing but golden oldies and winters we were there putting on plays and doing crafts. There was always something to do at their house. As we got older and Aunt Shirley and Uncle Doug moved to Norval. It was still the party house. Uncle Doug always made sure he had everyone's drink of choice! And was personally offended when I didn't have a vodka and cranberry he had ready to mix for me. You know I don't even know if he ever had one. But that didn't matter to the host with the most. He loved to entertain and many a night was spent in the back yard with a fire and some music. And Uncle Doug singing 'Dirty old Town' with his friends and family. Many of my own friends will remember him fondly as there was always an open door. We understand that your body was tired and you had given it your all. But we are sad to see you go. No one will ever take your place. Love you Uncle Doug
