So sorry for your loss. Had the pleasure of working with David on Brebeuf Dad’s Club. When no one wanted to step up to lead, David did with a smile on his face. Such a loss but always fond memories.

David was an amazing person. I worked for him and was very fond of him. He was a great boss, friend and person to be around. He will be missed. He always treated us with nothing but the utmost respect. He spoke with everyone and we were all family. He was always willing to help anytime no questions asked. We was sad when he sold and now we grieve his passing. We love and miss you David. Our hearts are heavy and pray for your family during this time.

We are shocked to hear of Dave's passing. My staff and I were honored to care for Dave. He was such a fine person, always smiling, always happy, and always positive as he fought a terrible lung disorder. Our love and prayers flow out to his lovely family, whom he adored with all his being. I wish there was more the medical world could have done for him. His bravery and fortitude will help researchers find remedies for his affliction. May he rest in peace and may God Bless his family. Thanks for allowing us to a part of his life. Dr Bob
