Doug’s number one priority was his kids and grandkids whom he loved deeply. He revelled in refinishing antiques and was part owner in D&J Construction. Doug loved hunting with the Machan crew and enjoyed being a large part of his community.

Friends and family were received at the Brussels Legion on Saturday, Sept. 16 for an informal, come-and-go celebration of Doug’s life. 

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Brussels United Church or the Brussels Cemetery would be appreciated.
