I am sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I worked for/with Dave during his resilient career with EDS and he was instrumental in shaping my career. Dave was very well respected and a great leader. Growing up on a farm myself, we had some interesting discussions on the outdoor life. I remember Dave contemplating an opportunity to retire and although he said he wasn't ready, his love of the country and farming helped him make his decision. My condolences to Pat and the Monteith family.

This is very sad news. It was my great pleasure and good fortune to work with Dave at EDS Canada in the early 1990's. In the midst of discussions on the latest deal or development, Dave would sidebar, always with the same grin and twinkle in his eye, into a story about working on the GM account or to set out his perspective on the latest corporate developments, all the things he thought an EDS newbie needed to know. Unless, of course, the story was about his farm where he would share the latest challenges or comforts that came with being a farmer. I benefitted a great deal from his wisdom - and got to laugh at his humour. My deepest condolances to the Monteith family.

Dave was a gentleman and an archetypal Canadian spirit. Always welcoming us as kids to the farm to run around in the fields and pick fresh berries.

Dad to hear of Dave’s passing. He was a solid leader and treated everyone fairly, a pleasure to work with. As another “farm boy” we always had other things to discuss.

I had the great pleasure of working with Dave at EDS. Dave was a man who knew what he wanted and how to encourage the EDS team to work together to achieve a desired result. He was tough but he was also fair. I also had the pleasure on enjoying beef from the farm and it was among the best I have ever had. Condolences to the family.

So sorry to hear this news. I started working for Dave when I was at a point in my life when I needed some guidance. Dave was a decent human being and a savvy businessman. One piece of advice that he gave me was "Run this business as if you own it." Another was "If you're having a bad day, get into a company car and go for a joyride." We had fun at work back in those days. Thanks Dave. RIP

Truly sorry to hear this news. I started working for Dave when I was at a point in my life and career where I needed some good advice. Dave was a decent human being and a very savvy businessman. A couple of pieces of advice I never forgot was "Run this business as if you own it" and "if you're having a bad day, get in a company car and go for a joyride!" Everyone had fun at work back then. Thanks Dave. RIP

Our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your beloved husband, father and grandfather. Our memory of Mr.Monteith is one around hockey. He and Mrs.Monteith would travel west along the 401 to a hockey rink to watch the girls, Molly and Claire, battle it out on the ice. It was always a pleasure standing around after the game to hear Mr.Monteith’s commentary on the game. May he Rest In Peace! Peter, Josie and Erica D’Onofrio.

I worked for Dave at EDS. He was very well respected, and a straight shooter. He also raised great beef, as I bought a couple of halves from him. My condolences to his wife Pat and their family.

Sad News ..... Condolences and may God bless the family in this time of sorrow. Dave was never afraid to take the hat off and put the gloves on when it came to keeping our General Motors Canadian systems locally. He was adamant that our systems were the best in class, and made every effort to retain them from Corporate GM/EDS. Dave did an excellent job balancing his work, family, and maintaining his hobby farm.
