DAVID
JAMES DOIG, passed
away peacefully on September 8,
2002
with his
sons Larry and Les at his side. David was born February 25, 1927 in the
Parkbeg district,
attended school in Parkbeg, married Dorothy Freeman of the
Edgehill district in 1947 and enjoyed farming all his life on the
family farm just a half mile south of Parkbeg.
He enjoyed all aspects of farming, raising cattle, growing
grain, and was an active participant in community and church life. Dad was predeceased by his loving wife, Dorothy in 1998;
his sister, May Lawson; his brother, Archie; brother-in-law and
sister-in-law, Forrest and Lillian Wharren. David leaves to mourn his sons: Larry (Rhona) of Golden
Prairie and Les (Ellen) of Parkbeg; his grandchildren: Camille,
Ryan and Marnie, Marshall, Houston, Tanner, Rosalyn and Phil,
Janine, Alison and David and Brad; his sister, Grace Bickford of
Regina; sister-in-law, Daisy Doig of Moose Jaw and brother-in-law,
Jim Lawson of Moose Jaw; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
He will be sadly missed by his many dear friends who
enjoyed his company and shared with him a card game or two, a
rodeo event, a twirl around the dance floor, a game of
shuffleboard or just a cup of coffee.
We wish to say a
special thank you to the staff at Extendicare for their
compassionate care, and to all those whose visits to Dave gave him
comfort during his illness.
The Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, September 12, 2002

Chapel, 106 Athabasca St. E., Moose Jaw. Della

a tree will be planted in Wakamow
