Donald MacDonald,
My heart goes out to Novena and family for your loss. I worked with Doug for years and he was truly a special person. He worked hard and long to support his family. He had a special bond with Melanie, and was a proud dad, he always had a twinkle in his eye when telling stories about her especially during her school years. He was proud of being from Cape Breton and always joked about breaking away from the mainland. He was a gentleman both on and off the ice, and you always had to keep an eye on him, because as quite and soft spoken as he was he could come out of nowhere and score. The Leafs was certainly his team and always proud to wear their team colors. I never drove by the family home without admiring the beautifully trimmed bushes, it was like something out of a magazine, and I am sure Novena it was a team effort.
It was an honor to have known Doug.
