Our thanks to Dr. Banerji at CancerCare Manitoba for going above and beyond for us, to Dr. Beshara at Victoria Hospital for her care and compassion, the Grace Hospital ER and 3rd floor staff, and to Dr. Grass for caring for all of us so well during this long, difficult journey.

Dave was great friend father husband . I will miss his quick wit humor laugh and my time with him. We enjoyed spending time with him and will fondly remember our vacations to Dreams Puerto Vallarta and driving. To Manzanillo . I know now you aren’t suffering anymore and are at peace. Take care dear friend and I will see you on other side
Boy i was saddened at Dave’s passing ! even thou we haven’t connected in years . I knew Dave from almost Birth as we grew up just a street apart and attended school together until grade 12 . wow so many good memories of the moray st Gang . playing football on the blvd to playing games at each other houses I think the biggest thing that stands out was the giant slide Dave’s Dad constructed in the back yard to slide down in the winter as young kids !! My sincere condolences to Dave’s family RIP Dave
I was shocked and so sad to see that Dave had passed. Dave was an old high school friend, curler and project manager. We connected many times over the years a either at a curling club or at a project management event. Dave always had a great big welcoming smile and always asked what was new. One of the nicest guys I knew. Rest In Peace Dave.
So sad to hear about Dave. Loved our family times when Michael and Nick used to curl together and we met at various curling clubs. The junior curling provincials in Rivers, Manitoba was so much for fun for us all. Dave was such a friendly, kind soul and although we hadn’t seen him in awhile, we were all so fortunate to have known him for too short of a time. R.I.P. Dave
What a wonderful person. Dave was a great friend from the moment we met until his passing. We became family as I married his sister Desiree. I got so much pleasure from his sons Michael and Jimmy as we had raised two girls & the boys gave me my boy fix. Dave and I shared the love of sports. I will not be able to watch another football or hockey game without thinking of him. Gone much too soon, we were not done with you. My friend, my brother.
