It was my absolute pleasure to be a member of the Bunnings team that worked with Doug. He was always such a gentleman and so knowledgeable in his work environment. Doug will leave a huge hole at Bunnings and I for one will certainly miss his friendly face when I visit Timaru. As a family you can feel very proud to have had such a wonderful man in your
lives. May he rest in peace and long will he be remembered for who he was. Hope the fishing is worth it up there Doug.
