Beresford, New Brunswick, who passed away on June 6 2023, at the Chaleur Regional Hospital at the age of 84.
Doug was born in South Grimbsy, Ontario to the late Ross Jackson and Betty (Booker) Jackson.
Doug’s life took him on various paths including electrician, ski instructor, B&B owner, security guard but the highlight of his working life was the 15 years spent in the CanadianAir Force where he rose to the rank of Captain and served as a navigator on the VooDoos both here in Canada as well as in Europe.
