“Hi Bev, Chris and Lauren, I would like to send my sincere condolences to you. Dave was a great mentor and friend. I enjoyed my 8+ years of working with Dave at Kelly Douglas in Vancouver and then at Westfair Foods in Calgary. I enjoyed his company and dry sense of humor - he could always be counted on coming thru with his dry one liner that suited the situation. It has been a long time since we worked together but I still remember many instances of Dave lending a hand in the work place and outside the work place. How many bosses will show up on a Saturday morning with his work gloves and a wheelbarrow to help build a cement wall .....Gary Whitehouse and I definitely know the answer. Dave would! And Dave did! The last time I seen Dave was a number of years ago, Dave and I were working for different companies (competitors none the less) and coincidentally we were staying in the same hotel in Mississauga - I could smell pipe tobacco aroma .... guess who was standing in front of me waiting for the elevator ... Sure enough it was Dave - I said Is that you Dave and he said hi Smiley! I know Dave is looking down on you all and will continue to look over you. Take Care Howie”
