Obituary

Jim Douglas
July 20, 1948 - April 14, 2012

Jim passed away peacefully, with family by his side, on Saturday, April 14, 2012 at Glenwarren Lodge in Victoria.  Jim's condition became more and more complicated with each ensuing infection, and he required constant professional nursing care so our plans to bring him home permanently could not come to fruition despite everyone's very best efforts. 

The obituary ran in last week's Times Colonist and the link is here:

Details of a memorial service are still pending.  Thanks, Sharon & Allie

We have received many kind messages of condolence from Jim's friends.  If anyone is finding out via the grapevine, we are sorry we have not got his obituary in the paper yet.

After all of these difficult months, things accelerated very quickly, and it takes some time to get an obituary in the paper.

We are hoping that with a later date for a memorial celebration of his life, everyone will have enough notification to attend.  Jim liked food, people, being outside, and of course, bikes, so we are trying to find an appropriate space to accommodate all of this - feel free to send us any ideas for location.

Thanks,

Sharon & Allie
