In nearly 40years that I've worked in the pipeline supply industry.I've met and worked with allot of people.Some are just business associates while some become friends as well.Dave was a friend.We go back nearly 30 years.Even when our company wasn't selling products that Dave represented we always kept in touch.When we started working togethet our relationship was one of mutual respect,honesty and getting the job done.Whenever Dave walked through our front door to call on our company he would stop and talk to everyone as he worked his way down the hall to see me.He alwayshad a smile on his face and made people laugh.Over the many years we worked with Dave,whether we met in person,talked on the phone or e-mailed each other we always got the work done,then shared a laugh.

Like many I am finding it hard to write, there are so many things that Dave did to help me. He was a fellow NACE member, and was always willing to offer help and guidance. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Scott family.

Dear Anne and family,
We were extremely saddened to hear of Dave's passing and we share in your loss. Dave was an incredible man who's memories will live on in us. He was a loving husband, father, true friend, and coworker and respected by all that had the privilege of having him touch their lives. He never gave less than 100% to everything and everyone.
Dave was a true "gentleman's gentleman". He always had time for others, no matter where he was or what time of day.
We will miss Dave, and our thoughts and prayers are with you for strength at this most difficult time.

To Anne, Stacie & Deena
I have had the honor of knowing Dave for nearly 30 years. He was so good at his work and really enjoyed it and the people he came into contact with. He always made one comfortable when in his presense.
We will all miss his wisdom and wit but that will also be what helps us so fondly remember him.
I would like to pass along my sincere condolences to all of Daves family.

My deepest condolances to you. I am unable to find the words to describe how deeply saddened I am. Dave was a real sweetheart. I feel very fortunate that I had the opportunity to deal with him all these years, and even luckier that I had the opportunity to meet him. He was the eternal optimist and joker. He was always concerned for others. He touched so many lives, and will be deeply missed by many many people. I called him my Hero which to him was quite amusing, but it just showed the type of man he was. A lovely person. I am going to miss him and a day won't go by when the thought of him will bring a smile to my face.

I met Dave and Ann in 1968 at the NACE Conference in Vancouver and it seems such a short time ago. Time goes so fast when you are with good friends and having a great time. Dave and his family visited with us several times and the time always went too quickly. Carol & I were so sorry to hear the sad news. We will miss him and never forget him.
Ann and your family,our hearts are with you.

I'm so sad....for the past ten years I got to know Dave working for Proline Pipe. I only wish it could of been a longer journey. I learned so much from Dave, he taught me many things about business and life in general. He used to say to me, "confidence leads to a positive environment in whatever you do, believe in yourself". I have nothing but great memories of Dave. Truly a man of his word. Always full of knowledge & bad jokes. I'll miss you. My deepest sympathies to his family.

I only had the pleasure of knowing Dave for a short time.
I can't remeber a conversation with Dave that did not begin or end with laughter! Even as I sit here today and try to put down these few thoughts I can see his awesome smile and hear him laughing. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to laugh with you Dave but even more so for your friendship.
You will truly be missed!!

Dear Anne:
I was so saddened to learn from Rangin on the Jan.21th that Dave is no longer with us.
I have not been able to accept it yet, since Rangin and I were with you and Dave this past June in Calgary for the petroleum show.
Dave was such a classy and solid gentleman with so much enthusiasm that no one would have gussed his condition. We spent time with you and him on two occasions past June without suspecting his illness.
I knew Dave through Rangin and I became so found of him, so much so that everytime we came to Calgary we made certain to visit and spend time with him and enjoyed his company.
I will surely misss Dave and will not forget him.I have no doubt that many people feel the same way about him and their thoughts are prayers are with Dave now.
Please accept my condolences and convey it to the other members of his family.
My wife and I would love to see you when you come to Washington next time.
Please do call on us , my cell is 301-873-6077
Sincerely Yours.

Dear Anne, Stacie, Deena and family,
My condolences and sympathy to you on the loss of Dave. He was a wonderful human being and I remember him with great fondness from his "office sharing" days at Execucare. Whenever I was having a bad day, Dave would always say something to make me smile. Sometimes he would say, "let's go and get a steak sandwich at Caesar's". I know he will be greatly missed but will never be forgotten.

My most sincere condolences to Anne, Stacie, Deena and family. I was fortunate to have known Dave through a business relationship while I was working for Proline Pipe Equipment and he was the most knowledgeable, helpful and supportive sales rep I ever knew. More importantly, Dave was a down to earth good and sincere person with a remarkable wit and personality. Dave was a great friend that I will truly miss.

I knew Dave from working with him on numerous AWWA Steel Pipe Committees. He was always generous with his time and knowledge. He was helpful and always contributed. He will be most missed thought for the good times we shared after the meetings and on the golf course.

I had the pleasure of knowing Dave from my days at Renfrew Tape. The one think that stands out in my mind had been echoed here several times and that is how calm, gentle and jovial Dave always was. He will most certainly be missed.

When our daughter was born in Toronto in 1973, Dave and Bill Andersen were there to see her within days even though they were in town for a short time. When Judy's father was ill in 1978, Dave visited him and gave him a card. The words in that card were so meaningful that, after all these years and several moves across the country, Judy's mother was able to produce the card within a few seconds. Dave was a good friend and will be missed greatly. Our sympathy to his family.

I never met Dave in person and only spoke with him over the phone when I previously worked at Scapa, but talking to him always brightened my day. His jokes, optismism and laugh always equaled a very welcomed phone call, even if we were talking business. And even though I never met him, or saw his picture before today, tears came to my eyes when I read his obituary. Even from a distance, Dave's full of life prescense was felt. My sympathies to his family & friends.

I only knew Dave for the last 15 years but I am happy I did. Dave was great to be around, very upbeat and no one could tell a story or joke like Dave did. Dave will be missed by our entire SWPMTAC group but he will never be forgotten. My condolences to his family; he was a good friend.

Our sincere condolences to the Scott family. I met Dave at a NACE conference. He came to supper with our family. He tried to set up my daughter and her friend with the waiter. He had us laughing all night. When I first was introduced to Dave he made me feel welcome and that he was glad to meet me. We will always remember Dave as a happy person who was able to lift your spirits. We will miss him terribly.

My sincere condolences to the Scott family. Dave was, without a doubt, one of the nicest, most sincere men I have ever encountered. He always went out of his way to help and was happy to do so. I always enjoyed our conversations; especially the jokes and anecdotes that were sure to be a part of each and every one.

The last time I spoke with Dave was when I left him a message using a thick Scottish accent saying I was Dave the Scot. He called back laughing and telling me I really had him going and that I should have taken up show business. Dave was alway a treat to speak with and swap jokes, and he had some good ones. He will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to his family. He was a good man.

My sincere sympathy goes out to the Scott family for their loss. I will never forget the one sales call I had the priviledge to make with Dave. After a day of treatments last year, he flew that night to Vancouver to make a customer visit the following day and not once complained. He was on his "game" with product knowledge and his story telling in typical fashion and approached the visit with enthusiasm & excitement as he would always do. I was impressed with all of this and under the circumstances, this is one of the best sales calls I have ever been on. He will be missed!
