Doug spent time volunteering with the Heritage Railway and Carousel and started volunteering in the beginning with them. He heard about the North Bay Carvers Club in the North Bay Mall, so he often popped over and borrowing some carving tools to help out. He loved red wine and cooking and the carousel and carving. He would sit there and carve Christmas ornaments; He would make the whole family a Christmas ornament every year. "He was just happy. He loved life!"
