Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

• Im so shocked to read this. I have been emailing Dave for the last few weeks. I meet Dave a few years ago in Palm Springs and we became great friends and emailed to catch up on news every month. I was due to fly out to Palm Springs in August and spend some time with him after not being able to go for the last few years. Very sad. Will miss you.

• My condolences to Dave’s family and other friends, my heart broke when I heard the sadness news. I met Dave in 2012 when I started working with him Winnipeg. I always enjoyed working with Dave, he was smart, personable and always knew how to carry on a conversation. I’m going to miss him. - Posted by: Scott Nordal (Friend / Coworker) on: Feb 18, 2023

• Linda and family, Rob and I offer our sincere sympathy on the untimely passing of Dave. Growing up on Amundsen Bay I have known you both for many years. Dave and I were in the same grade through out school, and were blessed to keep in touch afterward. Although we did not see each other frequently, it seemed that when we got together we could always pick up where we left off. Unfortunately last summer Dave was not able to make our annual summer get together, as he had a trip planned to Palm Springs at the same time. We missed him. “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” ~ A.A. Milne Ardith (Grose) and Rob Hammerling - Posted by: Ardith and Rob (Friends) on: Feb 15, 2023

• To David's family; my sincere sympathy on the passing of David, he will be missed very much by myself along with all of his other friends and neighbours at Sterling Point. David loved Sterling Point and donated so much of his free time to make sure everything run as smoothly as possible, he did an outstanding job. I will remember David for his engaging conversations, our Christmas Light project and his helping hand when-ever we needed him. Rest in Peace David, and thanks for all that you did, Kenda - Posted by: Kenda Ibbetson (Friend and Neighbor) on: Feb 14, 2023

• No cribbage tournament will be the same, without you. We will cherish the times we spent with you, esp. your favourite Key Lime Pie over coffee and a good chat. - Posted by: Robert and Valerie (Friend ) on: Feb 14, 2023

• Seems that everything can change in an instant, and yet nothing changes. David, we will cherish the time we had with you, you will not be forgotten, nor will you be forgiven for all the trivia contests you won over the years. - Posted by: Terry Newton (Cousin) on: Feb 14, 2023

• There are no words to express shock & sadness of his passing. Since his retirement gardening became his passion & it won’t be the same not seeing him early morning in flower bed’s with his garbage can, gloves & shears. He was so proud of how well flowers did last year & had plans for the coming year in front & back of his condo. He took every job personally & with great passion. It has been a brutal couple of years. Rest in Peace, David. You’ll be missed.💕😢 - Posted by: Beverley Russell (Friend & Neighbour) on: Feb 14, 2023
