WILLIAM DOUGLAS FOGWILL
A fellow member of the Manitoba Prospectors and Developers Association (MPDA), Doug Fogwill, passed away on Friday, June 11, 2021, at the age of 83. He is remembered as a beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin and brother. Our membership remembers Doug as a good friend, and an avid supporter of the mineral exploration business. Doug was born in St. John's, Newfoundland on March 25, 1938, to Irving and Jennie Fogwill. In 1960, he graduated with his B.Sc. in Geology from the Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John’s, and went on to do post-grad work at the London School of Economics, the Colorado School of Mines and the University of Saskatchewan. For many years, Doug served as a director and officer for the MPDA. In addition, he was member of the Manitoba Association of Professional Engineers & Geoscientists, a lifetime member of the PDAC, as well as a former district vice-president of the CIMM. After his retirement from the Manitoba Department of Energy and Mines, he worked as prospector and consulting geologist in mineral industry. He participated in many
mineral discoveries, including copper-nickel, uranium deposits and new gold mineralization in Manitoba. He had always joked that he is a 'rock doctor from the rock'. A celebration of life service was held on Saturday, July 10 at Barrett's Funeral Home in St. John's, Newfoundland. He is buried at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or any local Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada. 6 MANITOBA MINING REVIEW 2021-2022
