Dr. Eustace F. Douglas

On August 5, 2015, after a two year battle with cancer, Eustace Fitzosborne Douglas “Doug” died at Wheaton Franciscan Hospital in Racine, Wisconsin. Born on October 5, 1932 in Mount St. George, Tobago, Eustace was the third of four children of Eldred and Malvina (Molly) Lawrence Douglas. He attended Hope Anglican Elementary School and Bishop’s High School, in Tobago. After graduation from Bishop’s he taught at an elementary school in Port of Spain, Trinidad for a few years before coming to Canada to attend the University of British Columbia where he studied medicine. Upon completing his MD in 1962, Eustace went to Cook County hospital on Chicago’s South Side to do his internship and from there, after briefly returning to Vancouver, he moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for his residency in neurology. Eustace then established his practice in Kenosha, Wisconsin and lived nearby in Racine. Doug enjoyed playing cricket, watching golf and listening to classical music, especially the symphonies of Gustav Mahler conducted by Bruno Walter, and Mozart’s The Magic Flute, and jazz, favoring Stan Kenton and John Coltrane. He also had a love of large dogs (Dobermans and German Shepherds) and Corvettes. Survived by his older brother Lawrence of Winnipeg, Manitoba and an older sister Monica, and nephews Oliver (Margaret) and Linfield (Lorna) in Tobago and Dale in Trinidad. His niece Delia, sons Stan (Mina) and Stewart (Jane), grandsons Cole and Drew and ex-wife Maureen live in Vancouver, British Columbia; his loving friend Libby Stubsalki and family, in Racine, Wisconsin. Many thanks to Dr. Ryan Engle and his staff at Wheaton Franciscan Hospital and friend Eugene Gasiorkiewicz for both professional and friendly advice.
