Dear Shiela, Julia and McLean,
Dave was kind, thoughtful and had sparkling eyes, as he inquired after everyone and everything. Allan or I loved running into him on Roncy when you lived in the hood, as surely a fun conversation would erupt instantly, and always laughter. What a lovely man. Our deepest condolences, so sorry he is gone way too soon.
love Valerie, Allan, Maxine and Spencer

I think the reason Dave had so many friends is that he knew how to BE a friend.
Some years ago, he was driving us home, as he did many times, from one of Gordon’s hospital appointments. On the way home, I thanked him and told him how much his help and support meant to us at such a difficult time. He glanced over at me and said simply, “Isn’t that what friends are supposed to do?” That is indeed what friends are supposed to do, and Dave did it beautifully. We were lucky to have him in our lives and we’ll miss him terribly.

Only a few short weeks ago, you had your warm arms wrapped about my shoulders in comfort as we watched my dad and your life long friend pass away in hospital... I remember how you quietly whispered that we are all each other has and that we all need to try harder to make time for dinners and to spend time together because "you never know"... I remember your smell and your bristly whiskers scratching my cheek, and thinking that you were right. How heartbreakingly sad I was to find out that suddenly we would not have time to make good on that promise... I love you so much, never forget you Uncle Dave xo

Dave was the best of best friends; you always knew he'd be there for you if you needed him, whether it was to help you when you got stranded on the highway or to look after your kids. Two of his favourite sayings have become legendary in my family: "there's nothing cubic dollars won't solve," and "no sense in being poor and looking poor"! He was generous in every way, a wonderful story teller, and a loving second-Dad to my daughters. He and Sheila were a pillar of strength to us when Les died such a short time ago. It is inconceivable that he's gone too. He will be missed very dearly.

David was my blood brother and we hung out in the 60's with a friendship lasting over 50 years.
You could call David anytime and he'd be first in line to help you in any way.
He was a musician and top ass salesman and was always bragging about Sheila, Julia and McLean (rightfully so)
I'll miss you old buddy !
love and friendship...Mick

I was so saddened to hear this tragic news. Although I haven't seen either Dave or Sheila in many years, they are often in my thoughts.
I have such fond memories of the years that I spent working with Dave on Bloor St West. Those years were an important part of my growth as a man. Dave was a mentor to me at that time, whether he knew it or not.
To this day I still use the phrase: "Off like a dirty shirt" when going somewhere with the kids.
Dave will be missed by many.
