Douglas "Doug" Hermiston Senior, born 23 September 1939, is the second husband of Marilyn Hermiston.
He has at least nine biological descendants, and 11 step-descendants.
Early life
Doug was born 23 September 1939 in Winnipeg.
Career
Doug worked for twenty years in the army as a radio operator, including with postings in Germany beginning around 1960, where his first two children were born. He later worked in the life insurance field, and as a courier/operator.
As of 2018 he is retired.
Doug spent 20 yrs in army before I met him (he was married 18 yrs to Linda, mother of his 3 children). He was in life insurance sales, several other sales positions, and finally had his own courier company for a few yrs. From 1992 on he drove courier for a couple of diff companies. Retired a bit, worked a bit. Think he finally retired for good in spring 2001.

Family
In 1960, he married Linda Gail Shute (born 21 March 1942 in Chester, Nova Scotia), who worked as a manager in the food service industry.
With Linda he had three children:
- Douglas Russell Hermiston, Junior (born 17 December 1961 in Germany)
- Kimberley Leeanne "Kim" Hermiston (born 27 April 1963 in Germany)
- Sean Allan "Hermy" Hermiston (born 5 June 1970 in Winnipeg)
Doug and Linda separated in 1970. (Linda later partnered with a Dennis Smith, who worked in Life Insurance Sales, and in the 1970s had one child with him: Whitney Smith.) Doug and Linda officially divorced in about 1979.
On 24 April 1981 he married Marilyn Currie. Marilyn did not adopt his three children because Doug's first wife remained a significant part of their lives.
Doug adopted Marilyn's two children from her first marriage:
- Sharlene Telles-Langdon (born 28 November 1970)
- Shaun Frederick Moffatt (born 12 September 1973)
Grandchildren and beyond
Doug Hermiston at least six biological grandchildren, all from Sean:
- Katie Hermiston
- Jamie Hermiston
- Jessica Hermiston
- Seanie Hermiston, and at least two others.
Through daughter Kim Hupé, and step-daughter Shar Telles-Langdon, he also has four step-grandchildren:
Thanks to Troy, he also has five step-great-grandchildren (the last two of which are separated by two "steps" since they are not Troy's biological children either):
