DOUGLAS ARCHIBALD MADER It is with deep sadness that I announce the death of Douglas Archibald Mader on Saturday, December 27, 2008 at Deer Lodge Centre at the age of 76 years. Remaining to forever cherish Douglas's memory are his beloved spouse Lois Romanica Mader; her daughter Paula (Rudy) and two grandchildren; as well as two brothers; Donald (Annemarie) of Winnipeg and Dale (Briar) of Calgary. He was predeceased by his parents, Werner and Annebell Mader. Douglas was born in North Battleford, SK. He was employed at Griffin Canada Inc. for 21 years until his retirement. Joining the Army in 1951, he served with the Regular Force which included service in a Theatre of Operations in Korea. Douglas was a member of Korea Veterans Association of Canada Unit #17. He enjoyed a variety of hobbies and loved the outdoors. My heartfelt thanks to all the staff at Deer Lodge Centre, especially on Tower 6 where Douglas spent the last 8 years.
