Each year, the Thorold Community Credit Union hosts a charity barbecue during the BIA Car Show.
This year, in memory of TCU board member Doug Davidson, who passed away suddenly this year, all proceeds from the day’s food donations were earmarked for Thorold Community Care, as per Doug’s widow Jane’s wishes.
The couple met as pre-teens, and had known each other for 54 years, Jane told the Thorold News.
“We were married for 44 years.”
Three generations of Davidsons attended the barbecue, including his grandchildren, one of whom wore a t-shirt that said “Little Bear.”
“They called him ‘Bear,’ but he was a sweetheart of a man,” explained Doug’s brother, Kevin Davidson.
