We were so sorry to hear of Doug's passing - and in the same year as our friend Bob Greene. They will be together in His presence. I was so glad to have shared the eucharist with Doug at the hospital. Our condolences with you at this time.

I have not seen Doug in many years having left Brockville almost 30 years ago. But, I so remember him ( and Glenda ) as caring, wonderful people. And, he gave the best sermons...............short! My children were all baptized at Trinity Anglican Church and participated in many a Christmas Pageant! Doug's Family will miss him very much.

Glenda and family, we were saddened to hear of the passing of Doug. We were privileged to have been parishioners of Canon Burns at Trinity, up until his retirement, and then Don enjoyed spending time with him at the Brockville Probus Club in more recent times. He will be sorely missed! May God Bless you at this sad time and beyond. Don & Sheila Cooper, Kingston

Doug Burns was one of the most warm hearted and compassionate souls that I have ever known. The world would be a greater place if there were more like him. He has taught many of us valuable lessons in life and has made us better people because of them. There are few that will be more missed.

Whilst visiting Canada, earlier this year, I had the privalage, to meet Canon Burn's and his wife Glenda at their home in Brockville. I found Doug, a very interesting man to talk with about many subjects. I am sure that Doug will be missed by all who knew him, and will have fond memories of him. May he Rest in Peace.
