Sending prayers and condolences to all. Dave was such a kind and friendly man. My fondest memory of him would be at the church bazaar when he would be in charge of the books table. Or running into him at the library. We shared a love of books and reading.
Heaven has regained a beautiful soul.
My heart goes out to you.

Dear MaryLou, I am very sorry to read of David's passing. The last time I saw him he was taking part in a parade in Chatham when he was the Warden, I believe. Before that it would have been when the three of us were classmates in high school. I am sorry that our lives weren't destined to follow closer paths, but I remember both of you fondly and wish you comfort in your many happy memories.

To Mary Lou, Mary Alice, Scott and your families, We're so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was such a pleasure to work with on Kent County Council. He was always ethical, solid thinking, dependable and wise. We've also enjoyed our talks after our own political days - which still usually involved politics. Even then, his family was his main focus and made him very happy and satisfied. Our hearts are with you at this very sad time. He'll be very missed.

Mary Lou and family. Glenda and I were shocked to hear of David's passing. We always looked forward to our Morpeth coffee get togethers. David and I always had great conversations, particularly about farming and the best colour of equipment. We also got in great discussions about everything. Davis was so well read on many issues. It was always great to hear his thoughts. The hour always went by way too fast. .
Our thoughts and prayers are extended to you and your family. We will always cherish our memories of David.
