The Koufis Family says
We were so sorry to here of the passing of Dave who was our neighbour for ten years at the trailer park. Dave was there to organize and run all the fishing derby’s over the years, with prizes, trophies and taking the time to teach all the kids how to fish. Dave was also a lot of fun around the camp fire, I am sure he will sadly be missed by his family. Love Bill, Diane, Nicholas, Jamie and Michael XOXO

Dave and Nancy Best says
“A life is measured by the joy it brings to others”. There are people who smile with each passage, each season. That was Dave, spreading a ray of Sunshine wherever he went. He was everyone’s father. Dave gave his family the precious gift of life and a wonderful place to call home, but most of all, he had freely given his family and friends, the greatest unconditional love, anyone could have ever known. The gates of memory shall never close, we miss you Dave more than anyone knows. With tender love and deep regret, we who love you will never forget. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday. Thinking of you all and loving you, Love Dave and Nanc xoxo

So saddened to hear of David’s passing. We had many good conversations about the weather conditions that we both would travel to and from Metro. He always seemed to have the time for a quick chat no matter how hectic things were at the store. I will miss him. xo

Sonja & Mike Davis says
Dear Heather (BT) Our deepest condolences for the lost of your love, Dave. Though never having met him I/we felt we knew him well through you. Since his name would come up in many conversations on our girl’s weekends. Again, both of our thoughts are with you at this time of loss. I know you have many wonderful memories to cherish of your time together. Hugs
Wendy says
Daddy…..my heart breaks knowing that you won’t be dropping in for tea anymore, or that I won’t get to go fishing with you again. The only thing that eases the heartache is knowing you are in a better place and no longer in pain. Every time I take the boys fishing we will be thinking of you, and will always be grateful for the wonderful memories you gave us. God Bless, love Daddy’s little girl.
Jennifer Lewis says
On behalf of my entire family our most heartfelt condolences. We have known Dave and watched his family grow alongside ours for about 35 years…take care of each other at this sad time.
Tracey says
Dad, Although we may have had some moments during our time together where seeing eye to eye came with a challenge, there were many times that being together we’re an absolute joy. From camping to driving trips to day trips at Rockwood. These are the memories that will last forever. You were taken from us to early but seeing you no longer suffering helps get through the pain of losing you. You will live forever in my heart. Rest in peace dad. I love you. Tracey
Jill Pangborne says
Heather,
I never had a chance to meet Dave but feel like I have just from the way you spoke of him, always with warmth, respect and a smile on your face. I loved your stories of how he fixed up the garage for the stray cat to live in. He was a caring person.
Julia Cappellina says
Tracy, thank you for letting us know. I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I will try to attend the service on Wednesday. With my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
With affection Julie
Carol Joslin says
Thank you Dave for our Children and 45 years of memories that will not be forgotten. Without that time we would not have had the legacy that you have left behind. You will be deeply missed.
Love Carol
Heather Lindsay says
I can honestly say that I’ve never seen a couple so devoted to each other. Dave loved Heather from the first day he saw her and Heather soon felt the very same. They would both do anything for each other. Heather was by his side day and night and took such good care of him to make sure he was comfortable and knew how much she loved him. He has been taken much sooner then any of us would have thought. He and Heather still had many things they wanted to do together. Those will have to wait till they’re together again. I’m proud that I got to know Dave and his family. He will never be forgotten, he lives within your hearts. Love Heather (Red)
Glen selkirk says
This great man will be sadly missed by all who knew him.Dave was a person who lived his whole life with one thing in mind and that was to take care of his family who he loved dearly. Always willing to give a hand to a friend and always full of good advise to whoever needed it. He touched many people’s lives along the way and even now that he is gone he will continue to do so. Gone but will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my friend.
Dena and Heinz Kibjis says
Heather, Steve. Tracy, Wendy, Carol and families, from the first time we met Dave we knew what a warm, funny and good person he was. He enjoyed life, enjoyed telling stories and loved doing things with and for his children and grandchildren and friends! Cherish his memories…cry a little but laugh a lot with those moments. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love Dena, Heinz, Colin, Tyler and Erica, xoxox
