Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Doug Harrison
Corps: Toronto Optimists
1952 – 2004
Doug, or “Harry” as he was popularly known in the Corps joined the Optimist’s Colour Guard in the spring of 1969. He moved over to the drum line in 1970 playing bass drum, that year, and then tymp in ‘71 and ‘72.
He is survived by his wife Dorothy, three children, his Mom & Dad (Roy & Joyce Harrison) and sisters Ruth & Norma who were both members of the Optimist Lancers.
One of the infamous “Snaresbrook Boys” Doug will be forever missed by his boyhood friends and fellow Corpsmen Larry Blandford, Paul Coffey, Mike Hennebury and Randy Cochrane.
