C. DOUGLAS (DOUG) WILSON Suddenly, in Brantford, ON, at his home on Thursday, May 5, 2005, Doug passed away after a brief struggle with lung cancer. Doug was the loved and loving husband of Colette (nee Murphy); and cherished father of Carl and his wife Sheila Heti of Toronto and Jeremy and his partner Lory Picheca of Ottawa. Doug was predeceased by his parents Carl and Hallie Wilson of Selkirk, MB. His sister Margaret Ann and her husband Jeff Nowatzki of Winnipeg survive him. Doug enjoyed the love of a large clan of sisters and brothers-in-law, many nieces and nephews in Ontario and Manitoba, as well as several little great-nieces and nephews. Doug started his career as a lawyer in Brantford in 1970 and set up the Legal Department at the City of Brantford in 1975. He worked at the City until his illness intensified. Doug was involved in many City projects and enjoyed being part of Brantford's growth and success in recent years. He had great respect for his colleagues and all the City employees whom he knew. His involvement in local sports and with the Rotary Club of Brantford enriched his life and made him many friends. His love of books and music sustained him, especially in the last few weeks.
