LAING, Samuel Douglas "Doug"  - Passed away on January 5, 2018, after a "perfect day" surrounded by family.

Doug was 86 years of age and had been battling leukemia when things took a turn this past fall.

Husband of Doriel (McLaren) for 52 years, father of John (Sharon) and Anna, papa of Jeremy and Jack Laing; Rebecca, Sarah and the late Johnathan Campbell.

Predeceased by brother Thomas, he will be missed by his many brother and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews.

Doug worked in the commercial photo lab industry in Toronto for 40 years, co-owner of MDL which became Qualicolor Systems.

Long-serving volunteer with junior hockey and Doriel's professional art career.

There is no plan for an immediate funeral, instead the family is looking to have a grand celebration of Doug's life in the summer.

In lieu of flowers, in memoriam donations to the Ian Anderson House hospice in Oakville would be greatly appreciated.
