Douglas Cain

We are sad to announce the passing of Douglas Robert Cain loving father, husband, and friend. Douglas passed away on the morning of August 26, 2023 at Pioneer Ridge Nursing Home in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
 
Douglas was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on December 6, 1929 and grew up in the town of Winnipeg Beach, Manitoba. As a young man he first trained to be a carpenter and then he decided to follow his dream and enrolled in the University of Manitoba School of Medicine where he graduated in 1959. He married Eva Viola (Vi) Enns on October 17, 1959 and together they moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and then Baltimore, Maryland where Douglas completed his internship and residency in Urology. They moved to Thunder Bay in 1966 where Douglas practiced Urology at the Spence Clinic and McKeller Hospital. In 1979 they emigrated to the United States and lived in Hobbs, New Mexico for 3 years and then in Enterprise, Alabama until Douglas retired in 1999. In April of 2001 Vi Cain passed away suddenly.
 
Douglas and Vi had 4 sons together: Richard Douglas Cain born April 11, 1960, Robert John Cain (Sheila) born June 15, 1961, Philip Arthur Cain born February 24, 1968, and Peter Anthony Cain (deceased) born December 18, 1969.
 
Douglas married Barbara Grace from Thunder Bay in April 6, 2002. They resided in Enterprise until they moved to Winnipeg in 2010. Then in 2013 they returned to Thunder Bay where they lived the rest of their lives together until Barbara passed in July 2022.
 
Douglas had many hobbies and interests including photography, woodwork, camping, traveling, canoeing, cross-country skiing, fishing, and hunting and he found time to share his interests with his sons while we were growing. We will always remember his sense of humour, his intelligence, and his enthusiasm for trying new things and seeing new places. We will miss him.
 
There will be a service for Douglas Cain on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 at 1:00 pm at Sargent and Son Funeral Home, 21 Court N. Street, Thunder Bay, Ontario. Online condolences may be expressed at www.sargentandson.com.
