For Maggie and family - the shock of Dave's passing is unbelievable. I am very fortunate to have known such a wonderful man. I never saw Dave without a smile on his face. He was a sweet and sincere man that would do anything for anyone. He loved talking about his kids, grandkids, and of course Abby. He truly was an asset to our community and will be missed by so many. My prayers our with you all.

Hi! You probably don't know me but I heard many stories about Dave over the years from my parents, Ray and Mary Mayo. They have the fondest memories of growing up with Dave in Vancouver and were so pleased that he was a member of their wedding party. I was sorry to hear of your loss and wanted to let you know that memories of Dave live on.
