Captain Douglas C.P. Farrugan – 08 Jul 1942 – 23 Feb 2024
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of Douglas Farrugan on February 23, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Doug was the beloved partner of Sandra Peterson of Nanaimo, BC, cherished father of Christina, Jenny (Brian), retired ADC Duane Hickson, and his favourite ex-wife, Julie. Grampa Bug cherished his grandchildren, Brianna, Olivia, Leanne, Ty, Autumn, and Jet.
Doug was born on July 8th, 1942, in Toronto, Ontario. Doug joined the Toronto Fire Department in 1966 working at Station 12 (324) and retiring as Captain on Pumper 20 (423) in 1989. He had a long and healthy retirement living on Vancouver Island enjoying family, fishing, and winters in Hemet, California. Doug leaves behind a legacy of laughs, love, and memories for us all to cherish. He will be in our hearts forever.
A celebration of life will occur at a later date so his ashes can be spread at his favourite fishing spot.
Sincerest Condolences from all our Retiree Groups go out to his Family and Friends.
In Solidarity,
Retired Toronto Fire Fighters Association I.A.F.F. Local 38
