Condolences

  • I knew Dave when we both attended Western in the early 90s. Because we each went back to school as older students, we gravitated toward each other. We helped each other get through some tough courses (looking at you Dr. Whebell) and we socialized with our spouses outside of school. Many London Knights hockey games, and London Tigers AA ball games were enjoyed. After graduation, as it often happens, we went our separate ways and lost touch. I am saddened today to learn of his passing, and wish all the best to Deb and Matt and Sarah.

  • There are no words to explain how much we loved Dave. In our thoughts always. Dave was there always for my family a the drop of a hat. From Vienna to Blenheim. We had many laughs together and tears. I will never forget how he stepped in for my brother , my mom , and other relatives during their end of life time. Sara and Matthew, your dad was so proud of both of you and know that he was loved by many.
  • Dear Mathew, Sarah, Terry and Keith,

    Thinking of each of you today as you remember the life of your father and brother. As cousins, we mourn with each you.
    I am thankful to have spent some time with David not so long ago. We reminisced a bit of our childhoods and shared some laughs and some tears. He impacted the lives of so many people and has left a wonderful legacy.

    Sending our heartfelt condolences. We will miss your father very much. He was part of our community & pastor in Erieau for over 14 years. We loved his sense of humour and the way he always stood up for his beliefs. Keeping you all in our thoughts & prayers Marg & Jeff 🙏
  • He was a good man and despite his health and COVID-19 he looked after his people ( parishioners, family and friends). He would make his rounds of calling and checking on everyone he could . He was a kind man and will be missed.
  • An awesome Priest and compassionate man....Father Dave was always there when my wife was battling cancer and came when we lost her. He was never too busy to give of himself and cared a great deal for our community. God Rest and Bless you Dave.
  • So sorry to hear this tragic news. Reverend Fuller has been out with me on a Ride-Along as a Chatham-Kent chaplain and I really enjoyed my time with him. He was such a nice man and had a great compassion for this community. My prayers are with his family and friends.
  • Father Dave was such an important presence in our lives. He baptised both of my daughters in our little Erieau church. He came to our side when my father was dying. He was always there when we needed him. His joy and pride of our church kids was always present. Loved him & his sermons.
    Such a loss for our community.
