It is with great sadness that we heard of Daves passing. I will never forget his smiling face and joking ways when the girls all played soccer together. Memories that we think of often. Our condolences to the family.

I will always remember Dave's sense of humour, he never failed to make us all laugh. From being Santa in the 80's at Bell - BTS, to fun with the 1st Fri lunch gang, to our BPG meetings, and as a neighbour for 20 years. He will be sadly missed, but never forgotten.

1st Fri guys will all miss Dave.

I only worked with Dave for a short time just before I left Bell Sygma H.R. department and took early retirement in 1998. He sat at the desk next to mine and provided me with many laughs. I am so sorry to hear he is gone. He was a great guy. My sympathies to the family.

Dearest Linda, Andrea, Jennifer and families,

We are deeply saddened to learn of Dave's passing and please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Being your next door neighbours for close to 20 years gave us an opportunity to know your family quite well and especially Dave as he was the master landscaper of your beautiful property. There was never a neater and more well manicured lawn in the entire neighbourhood. We were so proud to have your family as our neighbours and we missed you all very much when you moved to Uxbridge. We sincerely feel the loss of Dave and hope that you will all find comfort in God's arms and in the knowledge that he was indeed a fine gentleman and very well respected. We will surely miss him. May he rest in peace.
