Just wish to add my most sincere condolences to the Frame family upon hearing of Dave's passing. Will deeply treasure many memories, starting with first meeting Dave when he co-lead the workshop/grand opening of the Regina, SK, branch, as well as in Winnipeg, Calgary and at the Centre near Orangeville. After the Regina weekend, I had the privilege of providing Dave a lift towards a brief visit/reunion with friends who had retired to Yorkton, SK. Wish I had such great company in all my travels! Great sense of humour, compassion, that natural smile, thoughtfulness and dedication to the broader pursuit of Taoist health and fulfillment leading Fung Loy Kok Taoist Tai Chi (Canada) for all the years that he did...until we meet again...

Chère Nicole,
Perdre son compagnon de route est une étape charnière de la vie. Heureusement, il reste les souvenirs sur lesquels on peut construire le chemin qui vient. Je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de converser avec Dave, mais il était visiblement un homme bon et généreux. J'en garde un doux souvenir. Je vous envoie toutes mes sincères sympathies .

Condolences to you and your family on behalf of the NL Branch. Dave was so sweet. I always enjoyed his friendly disposition. He will be remembered fondly. He dedicated a lot of time to Fung Loy Kok Taoist Tai Chi and I know everyone in this organization will miss him dearly. There are no words. Take care of yourself.

My deepest condolences to Nicole and all of Dave's family. I first met Dave at a Fung Loy Kok Taoist Tai Chi program he co lead with Andrew Hung in Calgary. Andrew had a terrible cold and wasn't able to talk very much so that opened the door for Dave's effervescent leadership and conversation. Every time I met Dave at one of our tai chi events he was warm and welcoming; he had the ability to put you at ease. Dave and Nicole visited the Taoist Tai Chi Hall in Vernon, BC several times over the years and their visits are still being remembered and appreciated by participants. I new Dave to be a very kind man and will miss him.

Dear Nicole,
So death, so called, can but
the form deface,
The immortal soul flies out
in empty space,
To seek her fortune in
another place.
I am so sad to hear of Dave's passing. His leadership and gentleness inspired me. He was such a caring person. My thoughts are with you.

It is with great sadness I write this. I have known Dave for over 25 years. We worked together, but he was not just a colleague, he was friend. All who knew Dave will tell he was a very pleasant person and whenever you needed help, he was there for you. I will miss him dearly. RIP
