Douglas Stuart Moore

It is with heavy hearts and an appreciation of a life well lived that the family of Douglas S. Moore announces his passing on Oct 5 at The Garden Home in Charlottetown, in his 95th year.

A lifelong resident of Parkdale, Doug started his first job at 8 years old picking berries at the experimental farms. Ever the entrepreneur, he soon found himself in vocational school and, with his wife Bernice (nee Lewis) by his side, he ran a successful plumbing and heating business, which continues to this day as Douglas Moore Ltd.

In addition to his strong entrepreneurial spirit, Doug was forever community minded. He served as a volunteer firefighter with the Parkdale Fire Department for 50 years, including 35 years as Chief. He is a past President of the PEI Firefighters Association, previous Chairman to several committees including the Metro Emergency Response Committee, the PEI Firefighters Training School Committee, the Maritime Fire Chiefs Association. Additionally, he served as a Director with Canadian Fire Chiefs Association and attended the World Federation of Firefighters Delegation, representing Canada in Seatle, Washington.

Most importantly, Doug and Bernice raised 5 children: Norma  Wood-Moore, Jamie (Anita), Gary (Gayle Roberts), Gerry (Janice) and Bernita Moore. He is survived by 14 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and 7 great-great- grandchildren.

Doug was predeceased by his mother Katie (Hurry) Moore, and brothers  Blair (Eleanor), Barry (Betty) and Sterling (Betty) Moore.

Doug’s family will be forever grateful to all the staff at the Garden Home for their compassion, care and patience of Doug and his family over the last several years.
