Douglas O'Bright

          Douglas Gordon O'Bright, born in June of 1935 to Harold and Gertrude O'Bright, passed away on Thursday February 27, 2025.  Doug had a full 89 years of life with countless memories shared with many people.  Father to Michael, Jim, and Mark O'Bright.  Loving grandpa of seven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.  Predeceased by his parents, and his siblings Harold, Jack, Pat, Bill, Bob, Jean, Donna, Margaret and Sandra.

         A lifetime Woodstock resident, Doug worked for over 40 years at Standard Tube.  He was a proud union member.  He enjoyed camping and took his family to Florida, Atlantic Canada and Ontario Provincial Parks for years in a tent-trailer he built himself.  He had a great retirement.  He was a snowbird in Florida for his first 20 years of retirement; he loved spring training.  In the summer he would take trips by train to visit family, friends and site-see in Western Canada and California.  A keen observer of politics, Doug called himself a "news junkie".  He toured many historic sites, Parliament, Presidential Libraries and the White House.  He was a handy-man who was always working on projects.  For years you could see Doug, with the Canadian flag proudly flying from the back of his scooter, roving around Woodstock attending to his daily chores.

       With respect to his wishes, there will be no memorial service.  The family kindly requests that you take a moment to remember Doug in your own way and to cherish the memories shared.
