Harvey Douglas (Doug) Toombs lost his battle with Parkinsons November 15, 2013. Just four weeks shy of his 90th birthday, short by Toombs' standards, Doug went quietly and peacefully into the night, surrounded by his loving family, having lived a life worthy of example. Those of us privileged to share his life journey are left with wonderful memories.

He is survived by his adoring wife Margaret, sons Phil (Dot), Ray (Linda), Russ (Athena), and Larry (Deborah), step-sons Brian (Kathie) and Doug (Edna) Andriashyk, step-children Bob (Colleen) Gowans, Roberta (Dave), Elaine (Joe) and Mary. He was blessed to have ten grandchildren, eighteen step-grandchildren, nine great-grand children, thirty two step great-grandchildren and one great great- grandson, brothers Earl and Ralph (Arlene).

Predeceased by 1st wife Alice (1976), 2nd wife Edith (1999). He will be missed.

Celebration of life service will be held Thursday, November 21, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at Schoening Funeral Chapel in Kamloops.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the National Parkinson Foundation or the charity of your choice.
