Stephen and Aaron,

I was sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I always enjoyed our visits when we worked together. I am just sorry that I lost touch after I retired. He also had an interesting story about his ancestry search.

I met Doug over 40 years ago, raising our families in Parkland and Deer Park United Church. We shared a common bond through our separate engineering careers managing construction projects around Alberta. Doug always had a high degree of integrity and honesty, endeavoring to achieve the best practices in all that he engaged. We spent many memorable occasions attending Theatre Calgary performances together, through our annual ticket subscription, sharing many laughs and enjoyable plays. Despite a lifetime with diabetes, I always admired Doug's commitment to a disciplined life style for his diet and exercise, which rewarded him with a fulfilling and long life. After our retirements, we stayed in contact with each other, enjoying many "lunches", when I always looked forward to a lively and intellectual discussion. We chatted often by phone, and as his health declined and he was confined to a wheel chair, he maintained a very positive attitude and never complained, but kept a very positive attitude, despite his handicaps. Whenever I asked how he was doing, he would say, "I'm okay", let's keep in touch. Doug attended many of our Christmas dinners with extended family and friends, and enjoyed many laughs and giggles afterwards during our gift exchange. He will missed by everyone at Christmas.

We would like to send our condolences, love and prayers to the Doug Johnson Family.

Respectfully,

Terry and Linda Gomke and Family

I met Doug through Helen.

I will always remember with a smile at Doug's advice to "Not to Bubble the Wine" when pouring the wine. It was probably Baby Duck in those days. He was the impressive young husband.

Thoughts and my condolences to the family.

Doug and I met in 2005 at the Margaretta Festival in Machias, Maine. We discovered that we shared ancestors with a long history in the Passamaquoddy area of New Brunswick. Doug and I kept in touch over the years that followed. He generously shared his deep knowledge of our family's genealogy, as well as helpful insights about many other topics of mutual interest. I will remember him as a person of great intellect, enthusiasm and warmth. I was very sorry to learn of his passing and send my sincere condolences to his sons and their families, along with special thoughts for his sister Carolyn. ~~ Janet Leaman, So.

I met Doug in about 1990 when I joined Monenco in their business development department. Doug inspired me to learn more about the EPCM process and to pursue a career in project execution. Doug taught me many things, but perhaps the most important was that sometimes it is better to defer to experience. His wisdom saved me from making big mistakes many times. Doug was a master of negotiation and listening to the other side's point of view. After I moved on from Monenco I kept in touch with Doug and we would see each other at least once a year at the Monenco Old Timer's reunion. He enjoyed life and his friends and always showed an interest in others. I will miss him.

I am a class mate and friend of Doug. We roomed together one year in McKenzie House at UNB, Fredericton. I last visited Doug in January 2016. We had lunch and some good conversation. I lived near Calgary from 2000 to 2006 and we met frequently during that time for a meal. After moving back to Nova Scotia Doug visited me a few times in Falmouth, NS. Doug and I kept in contact by telephone but it has been a few months since we last talked. We have a lot of history together.

I wish to pass on my sincere condolences to Doug's family. It is very sad to lose a friend like Doug. May he rest in peace.
