Dave was a selfless man who put family first. He spent his younger years in sea cadets and then Royalaires where he spent many years playing and eventually teaching the craft of drumming. He loved to play golf when the opportunity presented itself. He enjoyed watching his son come up in the ranks of minor hockey and eventually playing junior. His daughter was a constant in his care till the end. Her PSW skills came in handy. His grandchildren were his greatest joy. He will be truly missed by all who loved him.
