David MCRITCHIE Obituary
June 18, 1927 - January 6, 2012
Dave passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on January 6, 2012 at the Foothills Medical Centre. Dave was born in Sarnia Ontario, and moved to Calgary early in his life where he became a pharmacist, married and had a family. He practised pharmacy until he was 80 and maintained his interest in numismatics throughout his life. Dave is survived by his children, Bruce (Ulla), Doug, Mark and Nancy (Lloyd) and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Dave was able to spend time with his extended family this Christmas, and had a very joyful time. A reception and celebration of his life will be held on January 11, 2012 at 2:30 p.m. at McInnis and Holloway, 5008 Elbow Drive S.W. Condolences may be forwarded to [email protected] or 172 Sierra Morena Landing S.W., Calgary, AB T3H 4K4. In living memory of Dave, a tree will be planted at Big Hills Springs Park, Cochrane.

I got to know Dave at Telecare Calgary. I got to know him as a kind, wise and generous man, a real contributor to Telecare and its volunteers. May he rest in peace: he deserves it.
Sincere condolences to his children and further family.

We were privileged to count David as a loyal and understanding friend for many years, commencing with the Telecare ministry in the 1990's. David was a real gentleman who earnestly lived his Christian Faith. THANKS to the family for sharing him with us. God Bless you all!
