Growing up, he loved playing sports with his favourite being baseball, where he excelled as a back catcher. He loved NFL Sundays and was a diehard fan of the Raiders for over 40 years.

David was always a friendly and welcoming friend. I met David when we were 11 or 12 and after a game of soccer and he started calling me Jungle Jim. Not sure why but this nick name stayed a couple of years. I always felt welcomed in his house and remember those Dawson parties during the wild 70’s. My condolences to his family Jim Omori - Posted by: Jim Omori (Childhood fried) on: Oct 30, 2022

My sincere condolences going out to you and your dear family, Betty. I only knew Dave through your Facebook stories and pictures, from what I can tell you had a wonderful marriage and beautiful friendship. You will miss him every single day, however, the love of your friends and family will keep him near to your heart. Keep the memories alive, hugs to you.

Dave was the hardest working man I knew. Work together at cp express. We had a lot of fun times and laughs plus a few drinks as well. My condolences to your family Dave and I'm sure will meet again. - Posted by: Larry mostowy (Co worker) on: Oct 12, 2022

My heart hurts for the whole family! I met Angie in Tyndall park when we lived mere houses from one another … I don’t even think we were five years old! Dave was always a friendly person and he would joke around plenty with us! He was always kind towards me although I think Ang and I drove him nuts running circles around him in the basement as he tried to watch wrestling on tv! His love for his wife Betty and his children Angie and Justin was so strong and he was super proud of them all! Dave will forever be cherished and remembered by all who knew him! My heartfelt condolences to Betty, Angie, Justin your spouses and your children! Dave will always be with you and know that he cares so deeply for you all!
