Douglas "Doug" Rutherford passed away on January 15, 2010. He was born on December 30, 1918, as the youngest of three children to George and Christina Rutherford in Morton Municipality, Manitoba, Canada. From 1942 to 1945, he served in World War II for the Royal Canadian Air Force. In 1952, he graduated from the University of Manitoba in Engineering and later became a Professional Engineer. Doug married the love of his life, Rae Evelyn Duncan, on December 19, 1953, and became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1963. Working his entire career in construction for Stone & Webster Engineering, Doug and Rae moved frequently throughout the United States, but they both enjoyed Wenatchee the most, and returned here after retiring in 1994. While he was in Wenatchee, Doug was an active volunteer for many years, for both the Boy Scouts of America and Habitat for Humanity, and was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church.

Doug is survived by his two children, Peter and David; two grandchildren, Michael and Steven; and two daughters-in-law, Karen and Suzanna.
