So very sad to learn of the passing of my dear friend David. We met at Trent Polytechnic and kept in contact across the years. He was a real gentleman in every sense of the word. An honourable, thoughtful and intelligent man. Our thoughts are with Susie and all of David´s family. Such a loss.

We have too many wonderful memories of happy times spent with David. One of our favorites, was when he would ask us to come into his office and keep him "up to date " on his huge Ancestry Archives. He would be so happy when we gave him lots of additions to his files. Sadly missed...xoxo

On behalf of the Kennedy Library, I am sending condolences to Dave's family and friends. He volunteered his time and talents as a museum docent for ten years. He was a true joy to work with and I always appreciated his humor, thoughtfulness, and generous spirit. We will miss him very much.

I'm so sad to learn of Dave's passing. We were docents together at the JFK Library and shared many laughs through the years. I truly enjoyed "working" with him. May his memory be a blessing.

I have many fond memories of growing up with David; camping, canoeing, snowball fights (his baseball arm didn't make it an even match ) and just hanging out with a kind, trusted friend. Condolences to your family.
