- Biography
- Doug Brown worked at Pape Avenue Cemetry, the first Jewish burial ground in Toronto, from 1962 and lived next door to the cemetery at 311 Pape Avenue. He was the groundskeeper for over fifty years. Doug's job was to maintain the site and provide extra care to a couple of graves for families that had set up trusts to plant fresh flowers every spring. He knew the location of every tombstone and the personal history of many of the deceased.
