Doug Leask was a quiet, reserved, and lovable man, who became the friend of many when he lived in Durham, United Kingdom, with his wife Margaret and his daughters, Anne and Ellen. They came to Durham to support Margaret while she did a PhD at the University here. Doug was much loved by all who knew him. He and Margaret and the children became valued members of Old Elvet Methodist Church in the City of Durham, and they are remembered with admiration and affection by all those members of the congregation who came to know them. Doug was never one to push himself forward, but Sunday by Sunday he was always there, reverently and calmly worshiping with his family. He had had a distinguished career, and was highly qualified, but his modesty prevented him from talking about it. May he rest in peace upon another shore and in a greater light..
