Douglas (Doug) Patrick Thompson, aged 82, passed away peacefully in the loving presence of his family on February 3, 2017 at Kennys Pond Retirement Home.

Doug is pre-deceased by his parents Patrick and Barbara, sister Olive and brother Bob. Born and raised in St. John's, Doug began his career as a Pharmacist, initially owning his own business on Quidi Vidi Road. Doug served as President of the NL Pharmacy Association from 1967-1970. After his career in pharmacy, Doug spent several years with the Crosbie Group in a number of management roles including facilities development for the 1977 Canada Summer Games and as General Manager of the Village Shopping Centre. He also managed properties for ManuLife, including the Cabot Place development in downtown St. John's before establishing Thompson Insurance Limited in 1991, with his son John. During his life, Doug remained active in the support of the community, especially through his near 50-year involvement with the Rotary Club of St. John's Northwest where he served as President in 1978 and was later awarded the prestigious Paul Harris Fellowship in 2005. Above all else, Doug was a devoted family man and cherished time with his wife, children and grandchildren, including the extraordinary celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary with the entire family in Europe. Doug's family would like to extend their gratitude to the compassionate caregivers at Kennys Pond Retirement Home for their unwavering care and support and the exemplary care provided by Dr. Pat O'Shea; and sincere thanks to his many friends for their prayers and thoughtfulness.
