Condolence From: Curt McLean
Condolence: Jim and Brenda please accept a late condolence from me and my family. I have the fondest memories of playing ball for Doug. Never realized how much fun we had in those days and Doug was such a huge part of that. So many good guys are leaving way too early. I hope he gets together with Bake and the Keech brothers to organize a tourney or two wherever they are.
God bless him.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Doug's passing. He was one of the greatest men I have ever met. He had such a great heart and was always willing to help others.

Condolence From: Ron and Janet Hamilton
Condolence: Dear Brenda, Jim and families. We were so very sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Doug. He was a one of a kind person! I was fortunate to spend four terms on Quinte West Council with him. He was a team player, always working hard with the best interest of the City in mind. His quiet, gentle way will be missed around the Council Table and throughout the whole City. We had great respect for the way he dealt with all his health problems, and how he remained so cheery and upbeat through it all.
Rest in Peace Dear Friend, we will miss you.

Condolence: Truly a 'son of Trenton', Doug's contributions to the community are pale in comparison to the wonderful person he was. He will be deeply missed;

His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

Condolence: On behalf of the Desjardins family, please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Doug. I had the pleasure of working along side Doug for almost 10 years on Quinte West Council and saw first hand his love of the community and commitment to serve all of the people of Quinte West. But I knew Doug before our time together on Council as a neighbouring business to Smokers World. He always had a smile and a story. He will be missed.

Condolence: Our family's sincerest of condolences to Smoke's family on his untimely passing. As a rookie member of Council in 2003 I would often seek Doug's direction and guidance on matters. A man who's heart and soul will leave a mark on the City of Trenton and Quinte West. His dedication to many numerous projects and activities will have a void not easily replaced and his guidance in the community greatly missed. God Bless you Doug, God Bless your family.

Condolence: We are still in shock and it hurts to loose Doug...
There aren't enough words to describe how Doug affected and was a big part of all our lives. Growing up in Trenton, everyone knew Doug, my memories go back right to Trenton High, the good old days, his sense of humour, his kindness and most of all, Doug was always a "True Gentleman".
The Whitneys have always been a great family and we along with Trenton will be there to support them thru this sad and difficult time.
