Doug was born and raised in Niagara Falls. He had many jobs over the years, but spent the last 20+ years, until his retirement in 2017, working for Cotton Construction as a machine operator. Doug was a long-time member of the Greater Niagara Boating Club and spent many weekends on or near the water. He enjoyed traveling, especially his many trips to Cuba with family. He took great pride in watching his 3 grandsons play hockey and his face lit up whenever he talked about them. He will be fondly remembered by his many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
