Doug was born in 1938, the second son to Henry and Amy Reinhart, and grew up in the Medstead district. He later moved to Kindersley to work for the Town of Kindersley and that is where he met Agnes, the love of his life. They were married on August 31, 1959 and celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary last year. Shortly after their wedding in Wynyard, Doug and Agnes moved to Calgary and then to lnnisfail where Doug was employed in the oilfield.

Doug and Agnes welcomed their first child, Dwayne in 1960 while living in Innisfail, ln 1961 Doug and Agnes moved to North Battleford where they called home for over 40 years. ln 1962 the family grew as Sherry was born. While in North Battleford Doug was employed at White Rose and Holtet’s garage. Then a partnership was formed with Carl Bleiken and together they opened Sportsman Service where they worked for over 20 years. From there Doug went on to work at the Co-op garage as a mechanic for another 19 years. ln 2001 both Doug and Agnes retired and moved to Wilkie to be close to their daughter and their grandsons. Even though they retired, Doug still needed to keep busy and enjoyed working as a farm hand for a friend. Doug enjoyed taking family vacations, camping, fishing, gardening, tinkering in his garage, reading and listening to music throughout his life.

Doug will be sadly missed by his family. ln honor of Doug’s wishes, no funeral service will be held. A private family Celebration of Life will be held at a later time.
