WILLIAM DOUGLAS "DOUG" McDONALD It is with great sorrow that we announce the death of our beloved brother, Doug on Tuesday, October 5, 2004, in Winnipeg. Remaining to cherish his memory are his brothers, Chuck (Marilyn) of California and Jack (Shirley) of Winnipeg; nephews, Brad (Lisa) of Toronto, Bruce (Melissa) of Montreal and John (Kristen) of Winnipeg; nieces, Nancy (Dave) of Colorado and Lisa (Kurt) of Winnipeg; stepniece Michelle (Mark) of Winnipeg, stepnephews, Dan of Nelson, BC and Dave of Winnipeg; and nine great-grandnieces and nephews. Doug was predeceased by his father and mother, Bruce and Betty McDonald; and sister-in-law Joan. He had been a wonderful caregiver for his mother and father in their last years. Doug had resided all of his life in St. James. He graduated from Silver Heights Collegiate and went on to have a 20 year career in distribution mostly with Merck Frosst Laboratories. Doug was a voracious reader and writer who loved music, especially jazz, and had a keen interest in football and horse racing. He loved animals, children, and had a great sense of humour. Doug was a very caring person and will be missed by all his friends and relatives. A private funeral service was held in the Chapel of Memories in Wojciks All Beliefs and Faiths Funeral Chapel, 2157 Portage Ave. at Sharp Boulevard on Saturday, October 9. Interment will take place in Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens Cemetery, 4000 Portage Ave. at a later date. Our family would like to thank all the caregivers that helped Doug with his parents in their final years and a special thanks to Fr. Owen Steeves for his inspiring service. In lieu of flowers, donations in Dougs memory may be made to the Winnipeg Boys and Girls Clubs, 929 Main St., Winnipeg, MB R2W 3P2, where a bursary will be set up in Dougs name.
