Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

  • Dear David (aka my Arthur), I feel that many in this world are missing you now, your company and just your presence here so very much. I do to my very core. I now battle my own terminal brain cancer, yet thoughts of you and amazing support from many others is constant. I adore you, and if fate allows "I'll see you first". Love Always & Forever Scrapper - Posted by: Patricia (aka) Scrapper (Dear Friend) on: Jan 03, 2022

  • So sorry and with regret I only recently learned of David's passing. My deepest sympathy to his son Michael, family and friends. Very lucky to have shared great fun times with David in our youth, and ever so grateful to have reconnected a few years ago. I will forever treasure all these memories. "Arthur", you were so genuine and sweet, with a wicked sense of humour. I adore you and will miss you like crazy. Always, "Scrapper". - Posted by: Patricia Sawatzky (Friend) on: Jan 26, 2016

  • I've known David since I was nine years old. He was a great tease with a fantastic laugh and great sense of humour. Always up for fun. He was one of a kind and an "old soul" with depth. He was able to convey so much with just a look. I'm so sorry he has left this world but I feel he has gone on to something better. - Posted by: Dawn Ritchie (childhood friend) on: Jan 19, 2016

  • I have lost a great and dear friend. David (alias Arthur) was a friend that one could always count on. If you needed something or someone, he was always there for you. He was nonjudgmental but liked to jokingly tease you, yet he always accepted you for who you were. THAT is the true friendship that I will dearly miss. Arthur has left us with so many wonderful memories. I will cherish them forever. - Posted by: Yvonne Laporte Marshall (friend) on: Jan 06, 2016

  • I remember David from when we were boys at Victoria Beach. I am very sorry to hear that he has passed away. - Posted by: Jamie Conklin (childhood friend) on: Jan 06, 2016
