JOHN DOUGLAS REID

​

July 31, 1944 - August 19, 2020

On Wednesday, August 19, 2020, (John) Douglas Reid of Sioux Narrows, Ontario, passed away after a brief struggle with cancer with his family by his side. 

 

A tremendous loss is felt by his wife of 50 years, Janice, and his sons and their families, Tom and Katie with Adam and Rosie, Peter and Allison with Norah-Grace and Marsden, and Mike and Jessica with June and Stella.  Also bereft are his brothers-and-sisters-in-law, Arlene, Jim and Lynne, Tony and Shirley, George and Sophie, and Grace Anne and Leonard.  He was predeceased by his parents, Evelyn and Clifford, and brother, Jim, as well as Janice’s parents, George and Grace Austin.  He is missed by his many dear friends, well-known from living for 47 years in Sioux Narrows.  After being an OPP Constable in the Niagara area, he returned to school in Lindsay, Ontario, to become a Resource Technician graduating with top marks in his class. 

 

Following employment with the Abitibi Paper Company, he worked for 25 years as a Conservation Officer with the Ministry of Natural Resources….. two years at Jeanette’s Creek near Tilbury and the remainder in Sioux Narrows where he became highly skilled at navigating the waters of Lake of the Woods with its many islands and reefs at any time, day or night, before GPS was available.   After retirement in 1997, he continued to keep busy - helping seasonal residents with their cabins, guiding, trapping leeches, measuring snow levels for the M.N.R., and working a trap line.  Doug was an avid and successful fisherman and hunter. 

 

He was always eager to lend a helping hand and was generous with his time.  He also had a great sense of humour, ready with a clever comment or funny story.  Visiting his sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren gave him much pleasure, and not being able to continue to be part of their lives was a great disappointment to him.  He loved them dearly.  And now, as we believe, he is free to be at peace with our Heavenly Father.  

 

We are so thankful for the compassionate, kind, and gentle care Doug received in hospital at the Health Sciences Centre on Ward GH4 Internal Medicine in Winnipeg.  Also, the prompt and caring response of the MAID team to his request was so appreciated.  The following are songs that have special meaning for the family if you would like to listen to them:  I’ll Fly Away by Joey and Rory; When I Get Where I’m Going by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton; The Voyage by Christy Moore; Have I Told You Lately That I Love You by Van Morrison; Ready to Fly by FFH; You Raise Me Up by Selah; On Eagle’s Wings by Kitty Cleveland.  

 

Doug’s family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by watching the photo-biography above. They also encourage the sharing of photos, memories, and stories by making use of the comment section on this page.

​

In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make donations to the charity of your choice in Doug’s name.

 

Locally, the Kenora Fellowship Centre, Habitat for Humanity, the Salvation Army, and Lake of the Woods General Hospital would be suggestions. 

 

“Grief never ends…. but it changes.  It’s a passage, not a place to stay.  Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith….. It is the price of love.”

Doug was one of my favorite people of all time, and Scott's also. We miss him so much. We cannot even think of Canada without thinking of him. He is a big part of so many of our memories from Canada (and Florida too). He even chaperoned Scott and I on our first date. We are sending love and prayers to the whole family.

"One of a kind".. Doug exemplified this phrase in many wonderful ways! I'm glad I married his cousin. Having known him for over 40 years was a privilege. Fishing Lake of the Woods won't be the same, but memories of Doug will always be there!

Dear Janice ( Mrs. Reid) I am so sorry for your loss and I have to share with you.  How very happy grandma was that you and Doug were the ones to purchase her little slice of heaven.  She always said she could rest easy knowing you were going to love it like she and grandpa did!  I trust you enjoyed many years and I have fond memories of your generosity and support during those early years.  May those memories bring you some comfort during these difficult days.  Fondly, Tannis and Greg Romaniuk

Janice and family. We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Doug. I have known Doug for many years and had the great pleasure of learning from him as a new CO. He was the type of enforcement officer that I tried to be for the rest of my career. He was knowledgeable, patient and always compassionate while being thorough in his enforcement duties. I can attest to Doug’s knowledge of the lake, as I will never forget his skill at navigating through Turtle Portage, full speed in a boat and in the absolute blackness of night. We all have fond memories of a great guy. John and Judy Roos.

I always had tremendous respect for CO Doug Reid.  When I started as a CO, I had several occasions to chat with Doug at the old Fish and Wildlife Seminars.  He always made time to chat with new officers.  Always calm, polite, quiet and when he spoke people listened. Sad to see another true protector of our natural resources depart.  Happy fishing Doug.

Before she left for her trip to Holland this fall, my sister told me of Doug's passing in Wpg. Rick and I are very saddened by the news. Our condolences to to Janice and the boys. My most vivid memory of him was when after learning of the disappeance of my cat Tigger ( we lived next door to the Reid's in SN) Doug had found him at the end of the driveway by the hwy. Doug found out that it was our kitty, and brought him back to me so we could give him a burial. I'll never forget the compassion he showed at our loss. I can't imagine the loss the family is enduring. I still get teary eyed when I think of my own father's passing 20 yrs later. Keep your memories, they will comfort you in your time of loss.

My favourite memories of Doug include the times we played Thursday night MTO hockey, along with my Dad, driving an hour each way together, just for an hour of shinny.   But it was great fun, and Doug was always up for a bit of competition.  But what really impressed me was his faithful service to the community, flooding the Rec Centre ice and doing many other thankless tasks with SNERD... Sioux Narrows Energetic Recreation Department.... for the sake of the youth of the community.   A great role model and example!

I was deeply saddened to hear of Doug’s passing. I hadn’t known Doug for very long but when I first met him 8 years ago I know he was a special person. Kind and considerate, always open to engaging conversation, especially over coffee at Gilles’s early in the morning or in the afternoon. Doug’s good hearted ness will be missed by all who knew him. My sincere condolences go out to Janice, Mike, family and friends. May Doug Rest In Peace.

September 28, 2020 at 3:41 PM

The Karl family and friends enjoyed the best times of our lives at Tullibee Lodge on Lake of the Woods because of Doug Reid. Doug was more than a fishing companion, guide, shore lunch cooker, host, concierge, contractor and great gentleman...he was a trusted best friend and master of the five minute job.  We were most fortunate to know and love him. He can Rest In Peace knowing that he was loved and truly admired by his family, friends and whole Sioux Narrows community. The times we shared will forever warm our hearts.  We will always love the old stories, see the smile, hear the laughter and feel the friendship of those times. We are comforted knowing that God smiles on Doug for a life well lived with Janice, his family and the grace he shared with others. Someday we will fish together again, my friend, boating through Blueberry to Sunset Channel for Walleye on the rock piles, shore lunch cooked at Tullibee Lodge with a rum and Coke in hand.  Those were special days and forever memories. Gone too soon.  Tears for our loss.  We will miss our friend. This is our favorite picture of Doug; note the rum and Coke close by. Love and condolences to all, Rick, Heather and the Karl family

Doug was special in so many ways.  Nancy and I met Doug and Janice 40+ years ago.  He was a hard work C.O. that made a positive impression on everyone he met  In addition to his commitment to protecting the environment, Doug met and discussed the Lake of the Woods area with anyone that would listen. He loved our lake.  Everyone will agree that Doug was willing to help anyone that requested it. He had the tools, the knowledge and the energy to be a valuable addition to any project.   Fond memories include sitting around a fire discussing world events, numerous dinner parties, shore lunches and, of course, our frequent game nights.  Nancy and I will miss Doug— he was a very special guy.

To Janice and family, My son Dan and I are so very sad to learn of Doug's passing.  Even though we have been away from Sioux Narrows for a very long time, we have kept in touch with friends through the years.  I remember Doug so well, as does Dan.  He remembers, as a little boy, hiding his stringer of bluegills caught off Frank Vacek's dock (by permission!) because he didn't have a license and didn't want to be caught!  I remember so many things about Doug but one in particular....his untied boot laces!  Those were happy, wonderful days and the Reids hold a special place in our hearts.  May he rest in peace.  Love to all and our sincerest sympathies.  I know Sioux Narrows will be lost without his presence. Ginny (Stephano) Sawkins.

I will never forget the great times Doug and I shared when working as Conservation Officers in Tilbury many years ago. He was a very dependable and dedicated officer. We slso had wonderful times when off duty and are unforgetable as well. He was both firm but fair in his dealings with the public snd was very compassionate.  I really missed him after he and Janice  departed for Sioux Narrows.  This is a great tribute to an outstanding person and Conservation Officer. Janice and family please accept our most heartfelt condolences.

We knew Doug for over 47 years, which just doesn’t seem possible!  Doug was one our best friends, we enjoyed many great times together - cook outs, shore lunches and some shore dinners, playing cards or just getting together!  We even took a few vacations together and Doug and Janice came to visit us in our homes in Illinois, Kansas and Florida!  Great memories!  Like so many others we also experienced Doug’s caring, kindness and help over and over!  Doug would not only offer us his solutions, to the many challenges we faced while living in Sioux Narrows - Doug would also usually insist on coming to our rescue and helping us out!  Doug was a wonderful Family Man, Father, Grandfather and a great friend to so many of us who were fortunate enough to have known him!  Doug will surely be missed, but never forgotten - for us Sioux Narrows just won’t be quite the same without Doug there!  Bill & Marlo

Doug's love for family and community was evident in  how he lived his life. He was always willing to lend a hand and offer suggestions. My favorite memory was when I came up to Sioux Narrows in late March. He volunteered to drive his car for my first trip on the ice road. Once we got out a ways he stop and took photos of Laura and I. I asked when would be the last day he would feel safe driving on the ice he responded with a sly smile and said "Yesterday". I loved Doug's sense of humor! My prayers are with Janice, Tom and Katie, Peter and Allison, Mike and Jessie and his beautiful grandchildren. A great man who will be missed by his family, friends, and community!

I will miss his big bright smile when I would see him and the enthusiastic hi Lynne. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Wonderful tribute of his love for his family, and their love for him. He is missed in Sioux Narrows and will be. He was a big presence and help here. Rest in Peace dear friend. Please accept my sincere condolences Janice and family.

What a beautiful tribute and music. Janice both you and Doug were such lovely next door neighbours when you lived in Stoney Point (Point aux Roches, eh!) over 40 years ago. I still remember his huge smiles and your infectious laugh. I am so glad that you got to visit Dave and I in Florida a few years back. My deepest condolences to you, your boys and their families. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Mary

The tribute of pictures and beautiful song chosen was so extremely touching and fitting. My condolences to Janice and your amazing sons. I'm honored to have Doug as a family friend of the Fouchers growing up and to also have him share his fatherly figure to my son Peter. May you all find peace knowing he is no longer suffering. Love Gina Larson (Foucher)

I have often asked Doug for help and suggestions on a variety of issues. He was always positive and helpful. My time with him and the “boys” at coffee will truly be missed. A special thanks to Doug for his advice and interest in helping my grand daughter become a game warden. Doug say Hi to Justin,Brad and Jack for us.

Twenty or so years ago when I started commuting to work at Whitefish Bay, Doug was one of the first to make me feel at home in the Sioux Narrows area. Whenever I would see him, he would always welcome me with a cheery ‘Good Morning’, and ask about my drive and the highway conditions. We shared a kinship in being Honda owners. I am so sorry to hear about his passing and offer my sympathy to his family and friends. May he Rest In Peace.

What a privilege it has been to have known Doug for over 30 years and shared many memorable days on LOTW. Many of us have learned a great deal from this terrific, kind, generous guy. Accomplished fisherman, guide, woodsman, story-teller, yes Doug was bigger than life. He was loved by many and will be missed by all. Rest in peace my mentor, guide and friend. No doubt you will know all the best reefs and guide us to them when we meet again. Joe Hensel

This is a wonderful tribute to a dearly cherished husband, father, grandfather and community member. The photos really emphasize his "family man" gifts and priorities, and also his many skills related to outdoor activities. May he rest in peace. With sincere condolences - Jan and Fred Richardson

Such a beautiful soul! As my cousin, I was privileged to know Doug almost from my birth. Many happy memories of Sunday dinners in Wainfleet with his family and our grandparents. Enjoyed the many fishing trips to Lake of the Woods with Doug as our guide and anchor. Can only imagine the loss for Janice and the boys. AVE ATQUE VALE!
