Sincerest sympathies to all of Doug’s loved ones. My (Cheryl) late father, Vince Skelly and Doug’s mother Hazel were first cousins. When my brothers and I were little, my parents, Vince and Freda Skelly often visited with my grandparent’s (Ira and Kathleen Skelly) for summer holidays. I have many happy memories of our families spending happy summer evenings together. Back in the early 1960’s, Doug in his younger military days, travelled all the way up to Kapuskasing one year where we lived then, for a visit. That was a very long trip and we appreciated seeing him. He had just returned from trip to Mexico and shared photos. We continued to share Christmas cards each year. I will really miss seeing Doug on my trips back to Curran area. Our deepest condolences from Doug’s 3rd cousins Cheryl (and husband Bill Subject) and brothers Darrell (Annetta) Skelly and family and Terry Skelly.
So sorry to hear of Doug’s passing.
Deepest sympathies to the Benson family.
