Doug was born June 15, 1950 in Glasgow Scotland, He came to Canada by boat on his seventh birthday. Doug was always proud of being Scottish. He’d love to sing with all his Scottish buddies the old songs from home whenever he could.

He often talked about times when he lived in White River, “apparently the coldest spot in Canada”. His father a policeman for some time, he learned to fish and hunt after first taking a helicopter ride to get dropped off in a good spot.

He took up boxing for a while and always loved to watch the fights. In 1983 he went with a good friend to Caesar Palace in Las Vegas to watch the Duran / Hagler fight. He enjoyed it so much and talked about it often.

Doug played hockey for a while in his younger days, but he loved to watch it more. His passion for the Toronto Maple Leafs was evident as most of his clothing where Toronto Maple Leafs, but when you came down to his bar it was even more evident with many impressive pictures and memorabilia.

One of Doug’s long time achievements was his talent to play darts. He played in many leagues where he won many championships and awards. He also played in many tournaments and raise money for the United Way, represented the Oshawa Legion and then the Port Perry Legion where he and his team would bring home the privilege to host the next annual tournament.
