Farewell to a real great friend, RIP Doug Fung

It's with a very heavy heart that I share the sad news, my long time friend, Doug Fung aka @pinhead passed away yesterday as a result contracting COVID19 earlier this month.

Doug and I go back to a time when there were only a handful of CP lovers in Canada. He was a much loved science teacher at Vancouver's Eric Hamber Secondary school, and gave a lot of time helping advocate for CPs, was very generous and shared much knowledge and plants while he graced our world.

We'll miss him a lot... and wish Doug much peace as he transitions over to the spirit world.

I'm sorry you had to hear and be the bearer of sad news, David. Though I do not know Doug personally, I find it a little surreal to read about someone within this community passing on.

Doug's wife Bronwyn, shared her story of Doug in the Vancouver Sun. As you'll read, Doug was a real wonderful and generous guy... inspiring many -- sharing his love of CPs and our world with his students.
