WINDSOR, Douglas Henry Windsor
June 2, 1931 - June 15, 2025
Doug, a beloved husband, father, and uncle, passed away peacefully on Father’s Day (June 15, 2025) at Hospice, just days after celebrating his 94th birthday on June 2.
Doug worked for over 30 years at Hiram Walker’s, where he was known for his diligent work ethic and friendly demeanor. He thoroughly enjoyed his work and cherished his relationships with fellow employees.
An avid lover of the outdoors, Doug was also a gifted gardener and talented woodworker. He loved engaging in friendly chats, especially if they involved his lifelong passion for the Detroit Tigers, whom he followed since childhood. Doug shared his knowledge generously, leaving behind many fond memories for those who knew him.
Doug is survived by his wife Irene (just shy of their 70th wedding anniversary), his son Gregory (Key) of Toronto, and his daughter Janis of Windsor. He was predeceased by his mother Lil, father Bill, brother Bill Jr., and sister Doreen.
As per Doug’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A “Celebration of Life” will be held on Thursday, July 10, 2025, at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church (4401 Mount Royal Drive, Windsor) with visitation at 11:00 AM, followed by a service at 12:00 PM (Noon).
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society “Wheels of Hope – Volunteer Driving Program,” WRH Cancer Centre, or Hospice of Windsor. Our sincere thanks to his wonderful medical team for their care and support.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Windsor Chapel (Banwell Chapel), 11677 Tecumseh Rd E, Windsor. For more information, please contact (519) 253-7235.
