In Celebration of

Doug McGillivray

January 13, 1925 -  September 14, 2016

At the Veterans Wing of Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto, on September 14, 2016 at 91 years of age. Doug was the devoted and loving husband of Sara, and the caring father of Joan (Ed), Bruce (Carol), Katherine (Alex), Sheila, and Doug (Carla). Doug will be sadly missed by grandsons Edward (Jennifer), Ian, Michael, Ryan, Sean and Jordan; and granddaughters Monica (Kris), Julia, Mackenzie, and Sara; and great-granddaughters Anabelle and Amy. Doug was the proud older brother of Alan (Betty) McGillivray, Barbara (deceased) (Ken) Sackett, Louise Collinson and Bruce McGillivray (deceased); and Uncle to Kevin, Craig, Leigh (Gary), Jackie (Ken), Stuart, Bob, Michael and Carol. He was a good athlete at St. Michael’s College, playing junior hockey for them prior to enlisting in the Navy. Doug was a veteran of WWII and often shared stories of his time in the Navy serving on the HMCS Prince Robert; with his family adding memories of that troubled time. After the war he attended Veterans High School to obtain his diploma and then went to the University of Toronto. Doug began his career as salesman for Gage Envelopes, rising to the position of Vice President and General Manager. He was there for 31 years. Doug met his lovely Sara at Gage’s, and they had a successful and happy marriage that lasted 64 years. Friends may call at the Turner & Porter Butler Chapel, 4933 Dundas St. W., Etobicoke, on Sunday from 2-4 & 7-9. Funeral Mass will be held at St. Clement Roman Catholic Church, 409 Markland Rd., Etobicoke, on Monday, September 19, 2016 at 10am. Donations are welcome in lieu of flowers, and would be appreciated to Parkinson Canada or to Prostate Cancer Canada.
