Doug was born on January 27, 1935, in Stanley, Nova Scotia to Russell Anthony and Ruby (Nix). He attended a one-room school in Stanley and then attended Windsor Academy, graduating in 1953. That same year he joined the Royal Bank of Canada for which he worked for 42 years.
Doug was an avid sportsman and played baseball, hockey, bowling, and golf through his life. He loved nature, adored walking in the woods, picking berries, and feeding the birds. He had an intelligent quick wit, a wry sense of humour, and a playful spirit. Children and animals loved him. He was quiet, dutiful, dignified, and always humble. He enjoyed games of all kinds and was a wicked crokinole player!
Left to mourn him is his wife of 60 years, Stella; his daughters, Sandy (Perry) and Kelly (Roy); his grandchildren, Becca Ross (Dave) and Aaron Ross (Lindsay); his sister, Rae Casey; his brother, Lloyd (Jackie); many nieces, nephews and their children; and brothers and sisters-in-law and their children.
He was predeceased by his parents, Russell and Ruby; his brothers, Paul (Marilyn) and Lawrence (Sheila); brothers-in-law, Keith Casey and Alex LaFitte; and sister-in-law, Iris Kelly (Paine).
Interment will take place in St. Stephen Cemetery, Stanley, at a later date.
