Obituary for Douglas Herbert Lines

Lines, Douglas Herbert (CGA,FCGA)

Passed away peacefully with his family by his side at The Village of Taunton Mills in Whitby on Sunday January 25, 2015 at the age of 88. Beloved husband of the late Bertha Fay (nee Young). Much loved father of Joanne Dymond and her husband James, Lois Child and her husband Richard, all of Whitby. Loved grandfather of Cassandra Dymond. Will be greatly missed by his brother James Lines and his wife Nancy of Bowmanville.

Douglas and Fay will be fondly remembered by their many friends in Woodstock and London where they lived, worked and were active members of their church and community. Douglas will be remembered as a true gentleman in Whitby by the friends he made while caring for Fay during her months at Taunton Mills LTC. Those friendship continued when he moved into Taunton Mills retirement residence in 2008 and finally into their LTC facility in 2014.

Doug was a proud contributing member of the CGA and a Governor of CGA Ontario 1975-1984. He was honoured as a Fellow of the CGA Association of Canada in 1998.
Doug and Fay met through the United Church of Canada. They were very dedicated members of Dundas United Church in Woodstock, then Trinity United Church in London for fifty years. Douglas gave to his community in many ways. Having a rare blood group he donated unstintingly, regularly and on demand, to the Red Cross. He was active with Goodwill Industries and after retirement from Revenue Canada he was a volunteer personal tax preparer.

Heartfelt thanks and gratitude from the family to the staff and management of The Village of Taunton Mills for the loving care he received for many years. A service to celebrate his life will be held Sunday February 15 at 1 pm at The Village of Taunton Mills Retirement Residence, 3800 Brock St. N. in Whitby. Memorial donations to the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated. Condolences and memories can be forwarded through www.barnesmemorialfuneralhome.com.
