Wilma, John, Peter and your families. We met your family many years ago, when we ended up living 2 houses from each other in Port Hope. Thank you for teaching us how to be good neighbours. We have so many wonderful memories of time spent with you. It bonded us immediately knowing we had Ottawa Valley roots. You both guided us through our early years of parenting with two little boys who loved to visit Doug and Wilma. A couple memories we will never forget are one of you climbing through one of our windows to rescue our dog that we forgot to take with us on vacation and the lemon pie fiasco! Unfortunately as time passes, and we move on, we lose touch somewhat, but we would reconnect and catch up. We loved Doug's ability to "cut to the chase" and "call a spade a spade". He was a prankster for sure but we respected him so much. Know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time. RIP Doug - you will be missed!
