Well said Mr. Decker. I knew Doug Sr. and I know the whole family.The whole Forgie clan are pleasant, jovial people and i like them all. Doug Sr. was one of the first people I met in the business probably 30 years ago.

Always smiling, always happy and always quick with a hello or an offer to help anyone. Doug treated EVERYONE with respect. No one was better than anyone else regardless of their stature.

I will miss him as i'm sure will a lot of people. Horseman and civilians alike.

My condolences to the whole Forgie family. I will be there on Saturday...

sincere condolences to the Forgie family.

I was fortunate to have known Doug for many years while racing at both Rideau and Connaught park. There was no one in the business that I respected more than Doug. Doug was an accomplished trainer/driver, blacksmith and most of all a father and mentor. Many times Doug would shoe 10 or more horses during the day and then be back, always with a smile on his face and race 6 or 7 horses in the evening. He always came with his game face on but was respectful of his peers. You could always count on Doug for advise or just engage in conversation on many topics. He would always listen. The industry has lost a great horseman and friend. RIP Doug.

As long as I've known Doug , he never changed his tune, a gracious , kind man and a hard worker who never had a bad word about anyone, always had a smile on his face!!!
RIP.
