David Vice Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Nov. 19 to Nov. 20, 2010.

VICE, David Anthony 1945 - 2010 Our hearts are broken by the sudden loss of David, a loving and loved husband of Claire (Davern), treasured father of Mark, Julie (Andrew) Turkstra, and Matthew of British Columbia, and adored "Papa" of his two beautiful granddaughters Quinn and Addison. David is survived by his brother Peter (Margaret) Vice and sister Brenda Vice (Robert) all of Ottawa. Brother-in-law of Bernie (Edie) Davern, Rita (John) Ricottone and Joanne Urban. Loved and remembered by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Matthew (Tibby) and Clare, sisters Mary Clare, Ann and Margaret Mary (Pug). After growing up in Renfrew and completing his education in Ottawa, David moved to Hamilton where he began his career in Administration at St. Joseph's Hospital from 1970-1975. Following this, he was the District Services Manager of the Hamilton Branch of the Ministry of Community and Social Services. In 2001, he retired from the Region of Hamilton. David was an outstanding and tireless worker in the community contributing his talents as Chairperson of the Hamilton United Way in 1991; he was an executive member and coach of the Ancaster Youth Soccer Club, and involved in Ancaster Minor Hockey and Veteran's Slo Pitch. He was also an active member of St. Ann's Parish where he was chairperson of the Pastoral Council and other church committees. His warm and caring spirit led him to volunteer in numerous charitable organizations. During his retirement years, Dave's passion for golf was spent on the greens of Copetown Woods. Still, the spirit and love of David's life were his wife and family. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Dodsworth and Brown, Ancaster Chapel, 378 Wilson St. E. Ancaster. Visitation: Saturday 2-4, Sunday 1-3:30 with Prayer Services at 3:00 and 7-9. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Ann's Ancaster on Monday, November 22 at 10:30. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or Neighbour to Neighbour Centre. The streets of old Ancaster will be lonely without Dave. Our lives will be empty without your smile and laughter.

Dear Claire, Brenda, Peter and family

Although I knew David mostly through my friendship with Ann, I wanted to let you know that I am sharing your sense of loss and grief at this time. Words are not enough at these times...hugs would better if I were closer. Take care of each other.

Dear Peter and Brenda and your families. My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your brother David. This is one of those times when finding the words to offer comfort and reassurance is difficult to help lessen the pain each of you feel. I am certain that now he is reunited with your wonderful Mother and Father and Mary Clare, Ann and Margaret Mary, and you will always have their presence looking over you. The Good Lord will see you through this difficult period. Vivat Jesus, Michael

We extend our sympathies to all of David's family and although we haven't kept in touch for years David was a true friend. We especially remember the years David was in Ottawa at 32 Broadway and charmed us with his humor and quick wit. We know he will be missed.

Claire and family, Peter and Brenda

My deepest sympathy to you.

I have many fond memories of David, especially from Saint Patrick's College days.

He was always so considerate and giving to others.

He had a great sense of humor. I met Dave and got to know him when we both played on the St. Pat's golf team in the fall of 1966. Our weekend tournament was very memorable - enough said.

I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
