Loni and family,
So sad to hear of Dave’s passing. Remembering many hours of running together each weekend. I remember Dave’s kindness and humour. My thoughts are with you.
Dear Loni and Family,
We were so saddened to hear about Dave. He was always so upbeat and friendly and was absolutely one of the good guys! And what a wonderful picture of him- he looked like he was truly in his element.
It doesn’t seem too long ago that I had a chat with you and Dave at the Co-op. As usual he was his friendly self, which was something that never wavered.
We hope as a family you are able to reminisce, laugh and cry, and share your many memories and stories about the wonderful man Dave was. Our hearts go out to you.
Hugs,
Marlys, Brent and Andie
