Doug was born on May 18, 1955 in Marmora Lake, ON. He had eight biological siblings and one adoptive brother, Bill (Kim), numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his dad, Harry Wattier. Doug loved and lived life to the fullest. His main objective was to provide a wonderful home for his family. Doug worked on the oil rigs in Alberta, but spent the past 16 years as a long haul driver. He was so proud when Mary teamed with him in 1995 and together they owned and operated their own big rig. Doug loved fishing and camping, particularly with Mary and the grand kids.
