Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

  • Dave was the guy you told everything to about the song and he'd put his heart into it. He was so much fun. I took care of his piano for years, recorded with him, and socialized. A great musician and friend. Thank you for being there. Penney, my deepest sympathies. - Charles Lage - Posted by: Charles Lage (Friend) on: Apr 15, 2022

  • Dear Penney. We think of you often and are so sorry for your loss I hope you doing ok and if ever you are in Selkirk please call. - Posted by: Tom and Lenore Boyce (Family) on: Feb 26, 2022

  • George and I were already fans of the D-Drifters, and became moreso after Penney introduced us to Dave. By invitation, we attended many functions that Dave played at. When George was a DJ, he would tell Dave how he could always get the crowd on the dance floor when he played the D-Drifters’ music, especially the polkas and kolomeykas, at socials and weddings. Our get-togethers were always very special because of his friendliness, sense of humour and kindness. He always gave a huge compliment after a fun night at our house. Thank you Penney for sharing your wonderful husband with us. It was a great honour to be in his presence. I know he has left you with many precious memories. So sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Anne Gates (Friend) on: Feb 18, 2022

  • I have worked with many musicians in my life. I have liked the majority of them, but there were a few people I actually admired. I admired them for their musicianship, their attitude and their personal integrity. Dave Romanyshyn was such a person. I will miss him but we will meet again someday. Rest in peace Dave.
