August 7th 1945 – March 15th 2012
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our Dad. He passed away peacefully with his family by his side. Predeceased by his Mother Elva, Brother Wesley and step son Darrell.
Survived by wife Darlene and children Dan {Benita} Deb, Dave {Kim} and step sons Dan, Brad Grandchildren Tom, Kate, Courtney, Kurt, Clayton, Daniel, Chelsea, Jason Brothers & Sisters Karen, Jim {Carle} Jerry {Margaret} Barb {Dan} Judy {Paul} Liz Many Nephew, Nieces and close friends {you know who you are}
Dad was a proud man and loved his family very much. The oldest of eight children born in Thunder Bay Ontario. Moved west to Victoria B.C in 1973, eventually making his way to Campbell River where he lived for the last twenty five years. Dave loved to go fishing and hunting whenever he could. He especially loved the moose hunting trips he went on with son Dave and Grandson Tom. The annual fishing trip to Tahsis with Darlene, Deb, Dave, Tom and Kurt was a trip he spoke of often and was a source of great memories.
We will think of you often and when we do a smile will come upon our faces. WE LOVE YOU DAD.
A special thanks to Uncle Jim for coming to B.C. and supporting Dad and the family, you’re a good man Uncle Yimmy.
A celebration of Dads life will be held Wednesday, March 21st 3:00 PM at the
Eagles Hall in Campbell River.
