    We did not get to know Doug & Thelma as much as we would have liked too, as geographically we were so far apart..they in Nova Scotia & us in Manitoba. But we did get to celebrate the births of our Grandsons…when Darryl & Sherry added to the Burgoyne Clan.
    Our Wedding in the kids back yard in 2009 was a blast..because Doug & Thelma were there to celebrate with us! We always had a lot of fun with them both. We use to tell Doug he reminded us so much of the Kentucky Fried Colonel & he could be a shoe in for him & he agreed & wished he could of had some of the Colonel’s money!!! lol!
    He was a very funny, humble & down to earth man…& he & Thelma were both the “salt of the earth”!
    He will be missed..but know that they are together once again…and all’s right with their world.
    At this difficult time..we want to extend Our Love, Sympathy & Wonderful Memories of Doug & Thelma to ALL..God Bless.

    Carol & Jim
