Douglas “Doug” Towers

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Doug at the age of 91. He is reunited with his beloved wives Evelyn (1968) and Sandra (2022). Loving father to Doug (2004), Pam Campobasso (Mike), Joseph (Heidi), Susan Timmie, Kerri Thomas (Paul, 2017) and Tom (2004) and their respective families. Cherished grandpa and great grandpa to many. He is predeceased by his parents Jessie and Fred and brother Fred and sister Fern. He is survived by his brother Bob. He will be dearly missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. 

Doug dedicated over 35 years to teaching, coaching and refereeing in the Windsor, Essex community. He enjoyed spending his winters in Arizona. Doug was an avid sports fan and competitive player in many sports. 

If so desired, donation can be made to the Canadian Cancer society. 

As per Doug’s wishes cremation has taken place. A celebration of Doug’s life will take place on Friday June 28, 2024 at Victoria Greenlawn Funeral Home (1525 Hwy #3 Oldcastle, ON N0R1L0 226-799-5045) from 10am until time of chapel service at 11am.

BATTING CLINIC UPDATE

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED-EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

Due to an overwhelming response to the clinic, we must close registration but are starting a WAIT LIST.   If you are registered and cannot attend please notify us by email ASAP so we can add someone from the time stamped wait list.  

Thanks to everyone for responding so quickly to the survey regarding the batting clinic.  As of this post all 221 registered members/players of WECSSO have received the survey or been contacted in person if no email existed.

To date 66 members have signed up to attend the batting clinic.  The breakdown is as follows:  Red – 20 players          Blue – 23 players          Green – 23 players

The batting instructors and pitchers for the clinic are our WECSSO players.  The general idea is to have different batting stations and batting practice.  This allows our pitchers to get some pre-season warmup as well.  

Bats and balls will be provided but feel free to bring your own bat if you choose.  Bring your glove to assist with fielding balls.

We are encouraging members to bring their cell phones for personal batting videos.  Error detection, tips and corrections will improve batting success.  

WECSSO is covering the cost of the clinic.
