Sorry to hear about the passing of a great high school friend, Tiny as we called him. He enjoyed music and was our drummer in Brand X along with David Wade, David Yaxley and my brother Derek. A great guy who went on to better things and will be missed by his family and past friends. My condolences to his family. May he always be remembered.

Carol, Phillip and Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathies on the loss of Dave. Dave was an amazing and caring teacher and friend. Dave was one of my greatest mentors at Pontiac High. Dave was there to show me the ropes, give me advice and someone you could always talk to. Dave was an amazing leader both in and out of the gym. When Dave spoke everyone stopped and listened. He will be missed by all you knew him.

My deepest sympathies to Mrs. Holmes and Phillip. Mr. Holmes was one of my favorite teachers and an amazing coach. I remember the year I won a badminton tournament in petawawa...he was my coach, and he helped me win. I was losing a game, and running out of energy. Mr. Holmes could see that, and he came over to the corner of the court so I could see him. He did not say anything, He stood there and watched me...i could feel his presence, energy, support and encouragement. He knew what I needed, and he was there. I went onto win the tournament, all thanks to a great man that i did not want to let down, and a great man that i respected deeply. Thank you Mr. Holmes for everything you taught me. Rest in peace.

Such a supportive partner always there helping Carol with installation for her work and willing to assist in any thing that needed doing. One very big heart!!!

Very sorry to hear about your loss. Dave was certainly a good man, teacher and coach. He was the first example of a strong, positive male influence in my life.

His influence and mentoring allowed me to get both in balance.

I still tell stories about him letting me sneak into his boys gym class to play with them. He even wrote my name on the school crutches because I was so clumbsy. He encouraged my competitive side and never let me get down on myself. He will be missed terribly. My condolences to Phillip and Carol

David is one of those special forces in my life who changed my life profoundly. David had many wonderful qualities and one of his best was the ability to make people believe in themselves. David was first an amazing teacher to me, then an instigator in my ability to find myself as a coach, then as a colleague when we worked together on many different fronts. I always enjoyed my time working with David - our bantering and his challenges always made me smile. David made me a much better person. I know that I am one of literally hundreds that can say that. Mr. Holmes, you did so many amazing deeds and helped many people find their voices, for that I am forever grateful. You will surely be missed and this planet will be a very different place because you are gone. My deepest condolences to the entire Holmes family.

My Dearest Brother David
Even though you were 3 1/2 years younger than me, I always looked up to you literally and figuratively.
A gentle man of few words, your words were always thoughtful, positive, loving, caring, encouraging, and oh so wise.
You were not a complainer, always found the best in everyone, and I always admired your loyalty to Carol and Phillip.
Thank you for being my anchor so many times!
You will always be deeply missed.
You will forever be in my heart ♥
Endless Love
Judy
