WALKER, Douglas Alexander Forbes - October 11, 1953 - January 15, 2022
Doug passed away peacefully at home after a long illness at the age of 68.

He will be dearly missed by his mother Helen Adele Walker, brothers Dave (Lisa) and Derek (Leslie), aunt Norein and cousin Deanne. He was predeceased by his father Donald.
Doug was a graduate of Thornlea Secondary School, York University, OISE (University of Toronto) and Seneca College. He worked as an accountant for Gulf Canada and Petro Canada for several years.
