Obituary of Doug Wallace

It is with heavy hearts the family of Douglas E. Wallace announces his death. Doug fought bravely and kept a positive attitude through his eight month battle with cancer. He passed peacefully, in the company of his family on Monday, February 6th, 2012. He was born in Chipman NB, on March 26, 1948 to the late John and Irene (Bustard) Wallace. Doug is survived by his daughters Tracey, Katherine (Bill Cleveland), Kelley (Jerry Watson); and their mom Claudia Simmonds all of Grand Bay-Westfield, NB., Grandchildren Luke, Natalie, Riley and “baby on the way”; his companion Kathryn Bawn and her family Justin, Lindsay and Hilary, Dewey Janes and Cathy Kennedy; his Sisters in law Ann Wallce and Bonnie (Bill) Atkins; many nieces and nephews and his very special Aunt and Uncle Katherine (Ronald) Bustard, and several other much loved family members in Ontario. Doug worked for NB Power for 38 years at Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station, belonging to I.B.E.W. Local #37. He was an Executive Board Member, Chief Shop Steward and Safety Response Team trained. Doug was a champion for the “underdog” and took his duties with the Union very serious. “Trapper” or “Deets” as he was sometimes known as at the Plant, was a great friend to his co-workers. His entire family, extended family and friends will miss him greatly. In addition to his parents, Doug was predeceased by brothers John, Stephen and William; and his sister Margaret Garnette.
