Mr. Douglas Walter Buhr

In addition to Linda, Doug is survived and deeply missed by his loving son Shawn, his sister Mary, brother-in-law Bob Pufall, his cherished nieces Erica and Amanda (who was also with him at his passing), sister-in-law Sharonne, many cousins, extended family, and dear friends.

He was predeceased by his parents Walter and Margaret.

Doug’s working life was as a lawyer with the City of Winnipeg, where he worked with integrity, passion, and occasional outbursts of frustration. He lived in Winnipeg all his life, but travelled the world with his beloved wife Linda, accompanied from time to time by Shawn, his parents, friends, and other family. Two of his favourite trips were perhaps the ones to the Galapagos and an anniversary jaunt on a private yacht around Greece and the Mediterranean. He greatly enjoyed snorkeling, reading, crossword puzzles, Sudoku, scotch, channel hopping and muttering about incompetent drivers. He was a deeply loyal and caring person, dedicated and caring to his family, friends and pets. He loved family occasions and getting together with friends. His rich laugh and beautiful smile will be deeply missed.

Memorial Service will be held at 10:00 am, on Thursday, November 23, 2017 at Thomson “In the Park Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard.

Thank you to all the staff at Cancer Care Manitoba. Your care and kindness was deeply appreciated.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Doug’s honour to CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9.
