Douglas was born in North Himsworth Township on June 28, 1941. He was the seventh of eight children of Mabel (Anderson) and Archie Hughes.
Doug was raised in the Brule on the family homestead. He attended school at Sharps Corner and after graduating he went to work with his father in the bush and on the farm.
Doug met Audrey Nadrofsky at Audrey s home and they married in Powassan. After living in North Bay, then on the Alsace Road, Doug and Audrey settled on the farm and enjoyed farming, bee keeping, woodworking, making maple syrup, playing guitar and working at the sawmill.
Time spent with his family was a priority. Fish fry s at the log cabin, camping at Perch, fishing and hunting together will be cherished memories of the family.
Doug will be remembered by many for his love of music and playing the guitar. He really enjoyed socializing with everyone who dropped by, and all were welcome.
Douglas was baptized as a Jehovah s Witness in September of 1976 and faithfully lived his life according to his beliefs.
His favourite expression was, Don t bother going if you re not going to get there on time.
