It is with great sadness that we advise the passing of Doug Rudderham, Westmount, N.S. on Saturday, Jan. 2, 2010, in the Cape Breton Regional Hospital.

He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Mary (MacMullin), three brothers, Albert, Eddie and George, and four sisters, Mildred, Irene, Helen and Inez.
Doug enjoyed a long and successful career at Sydney Steel, retiring as manager of Mobile Operations. Raised in Point Edward, N.S., he was a keen and avid sportsman, particularly proud of his days with the Championship Point Edward Cubs and Westside 126 Legion Provincial bowling and curling titles.

Doug was a uniquely kind and caring person who loved his family enormously and was loved and admired by all who knew him.
The family thanks his personal physicians Dr. Jackson and Dr. Houssein, his personal care assistants, Anne, Billy, Marie, the VON, Cape Breton Metro Homecare and the amazing staff of the An Cala Palliative Care for their caring and sincere support of Doug throughout the past years.
