Born in Florence and raised in Sydney Mines, Doug was the son of the late Clarence and Marguerite (Braham) Jardine.
Doug worked for many years for Algoma Central Corporation as mechanical assistance until his retirement due to ill health. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, for Doug loved the outdoors. He will be remembered by his family and friends for his sense of humour and ability to make people laugh.

Besides his parents, Doug was predeceased his brothers, Clarence Jr. ‘Lussie’, Peter, Tom and a sister, Pearl Higham.

(entrance on Church Street) on Sunday, May 24 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Memorial service to celebrate the life of Doug will be held on Monday, May 25, 2015 at 11 a.m. in the Pier Community Funeral Home, All Faith Chapel.

Ben & Peggy and all the Jardine families, sincere condolences on the loss of a dear family member. Did not know Doug personally but if he is anything like his brother, Ben, then he was a great guy. May God give you the comfort that you need at this time and may you remember that Doug is no longer suffering and is at peace. Another Angel to watch over you all.
