Hello Dale and family, I just learned of Dr. Hodges' passing and I hope that you are doing OK. I worked for him from 1981-1986 at Lakewood Dental. He was such an awesome boss and made work busy, productive but fun. I remember my days there with him fondly...Hilary Schultz

Just last week as I was fighting back the tears from what seemed like a recent root canal gone wrong, I said to myself 'Our best Dentist was Dr.Hodges'. Taking our growing boys to the Clinic in College Heights was easier because of the friendly welcome, all the story books, walruses and the adjectives Dr.Hodges used to describe their good teeth. We are thinking of you at this time. Please accept condolences from our family.

Dear Dale and Family
It was with such sadness that I received this news of David passing. It has been such a pleasure to have worked with David, and learned from him, on many cases for the Coroner's Service and RCMP, and to have him speak to my classes at UNBC. This is a great loss.

Dave altered the stereotypical dentist visit into an enjoyable chat that I always looked forward to. He was a gentleman, who truly cared for people, and had a zest for life that was contagious…rest in peace Dave, a man I can proudly call my friend.

Sandy and I are deeply saddened by Dave's passing. Our hearts go out to Dale and the children and Grandchildren as well as the rest of Dave's family. David was a remarkable man. He was an unrelenting forensic investigator who assisted many families over the years by bringing closure to the forensic cases he took on. He was a most generous man and had great passion to help his community wherever he could. I was honoured to have had the opportunity to work professionally with him and to become great friends and golf partners for many years. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dale and the family. I'll think of him every time I play golf and all the wonderful times we had together. David and Sandy Coverdale

Dear Dale, Michelle, Natalie, Andrew and families:
We are so sorry to hear of David's passing. We are all amazed by his skill, expertise and knowledge but moreover by his professionalism and highest ethical standards. He brought closure to many families through his forensic casework and we take comfort in knowing that this legacy, which is now being passed on to younger dental practitioners, will continue in our province because of David's leadership and his method of teaching by example.
We wish you comfort and extend our heartfelt sympathy. Please know that we feel this painful loss too. David is irreplaceable.

To Dale, Michelle, Natalie and Andrew.
I'm sorry for your loss. I will always remember him as a kind and gentle caring person. My mom remembers the days when she brought me to see the dentist and he would insist on carrying me out rather than having me walk out to the car as I was drugged up (after a mouthful of cavities of course). The memories will always live within us forever. For that he will never be forgotten.
