Wayne Hunter here, having a sad day after hearing of Daves passing. A couple of buggers, maybe, back in our youth. Summers up at Simcoe, fishing, hunting down big game, frogs. We even had the glamorous job, helping out the milkman in the open air truck. Rewarded at the end of our shift with a glass pint bottle of chocolate milk. Slave driver! A lot of fun. Sure glad my wife,Sharron and I dropped by back in 2018 on our trailer tour. Was really hoping to get back up there this summer, and get some fishing in. If we do will see Deb and swap good time tales of a great guy. Catch a whopper for me Dave, your ol bud Wayne.

Dear Deb and family, upon just hearing of Dave's passing I am moved to say that the short time Wayne and I spent with you both was amazing and Dave will surely be sadly missed. We will carry you and your family in our hearts and hope dearly to spend time with you in Rossport and feel once again the positive vibe that was Dave

Dave was a wonderful, caring guy - married to my niece, Deb. He always called me "Auntie" and I will miss that. He was a big part of our family and always will be . Rest in peace, my dear boy.

Deb we just don't have words to express our sadness when we heard about Dave. Although we have known you both only for a few years, we always looked forward to the get togethers when you came to visit Ken and Jane. They were fun times. Dave had a zest for life and a love for family. He was a gentle soul. We hope knowing how much others care will provide you and your family with some comfort in this difficult time

Our deepest condolences in the sudden loss of a husband, father, brother, uncle and friend. We are Rob and Kathryn's neighbours and even though we only met Dave once last summer, we have heard many a story around the bond fire about him. Rob loved and respected him dearly that's for sure. May memories hold you dear...
