Linda & Blaine and your family, very sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a very kind soul. I was glad to have had the privilege to deliver meals to him and your Mom. Perhaps in heaven he may have some pull to get Raven Mountain opened up again!

To the Doxsee Family, I am very sorry to hear that your wonderful father has passed. He was still in great humour even in Extendicare. I enjoyed seeing him wheeling around on the 3rd floor, following your mom around. Take care of yourselves. Sincerely, Laura Teague-Breukelman

Laura Teague, March 1, 2021

Mrs. Doxsee, Lynda, Jimmy and Daniel, we were so blessed to grow up together and to become so much more than neighbours, we became family and it still is so to this day. There are so many amazing memories of this but one I remember for sure-probably along with everybody else on the street, was your Dad coming out in the driveway to whistle really loud so that wherever the gang was playing in the neighbourhood you would know it was time to go home for supper or if it was after supper it was your call to come in for the evening. He lived a long life and got called home himself on his own terms. Now he is with other loved ones and most importantly John. He and John are now watching over all of you together until you are all once again together some day. Hold on to our wonderful childhood memories, there are so many we have been blessed with. With Love, Marjorie, Paul, Chris and Abbey

I am so sad to hear this news. I often think of Mr. Doxsee when I hear Dinah Washington (my Mom tells me she was one of his favourite singers), and likely will always think of our kind neighbours from Summit Avenue. My heart goes out to all of you. – Cindy (Ellies) Summers

To Mrs. Doxsee (Ruth), Lynda, Jimmy, Daniel and the rest of the Doxsee family: I could not have grown up living near a kinder man. I have such fond memories of the time I spent at the Doxsee household as a child. Agnès only got to meet Wayne in her teenage years, but she feels no less privileged than I do to have known him. My father had enormous respect for Wayne, and justifiably so. We all did. We know how much you will miss him, but we hope you will take solace in knowing how much Wayne impressed everyone who met him and in how much time you got to share with him. Our sincerest condolences. Greg and Agnès

Greg Ellies, March 1, 2021

To Mrs. Doxsee, Jim, Dan, Lynda , Christine, and the Doxsee families, we send our most sincere condolences. I will always remember his kindness to my mother when we went in for some legal matters; he had gone to school with her. One could see the reaction in his eyes when he learned she was terminally ill. He was so gentle. He has left a fine legacy of children and grandchildren. May he R.I.P. Laurie Bassett and Richard Kallio

Our sincere condolences to the Doxsee Family. He was such a nice man. always so soft spoken and pleasant.

Lise & Larry McKay, March 1, 2021

One of my first summer jobs was working for “Mr. Doxsee”. Mrs. MacDonald was his long time secretary. A very calm, almost soothing, office environment. On hot afternoons, in the second floor non-air conditioned office, Mr. Doxsee insisted a hot cup of tea was the better beverage. He would have been in his 30s then. He never stopped being a soft-spoken kind man. My very sincere condolences.
