Pearl and Bud Flanagan posted a condolence

We first met Dave, about 30 years ago, through a mutual friend Larry Burns. Larry, Dave and myself were all pensioners from the RCN. Throughout our friendship we visited each others homes on numerous occasions. We would meet annually and to go to the Battle of Atlantic ceremonies in Ottawa. Dave was not only a gentleman with high morals, but a great story teller, especially yarns pre and early war of his times in the RCN. Larry and I and my Wife Pearl were always amazed at how efficient Dave was in all his adventures, from managing the rink, his property and his housekeeping. He was one of the finer people to inhabit this world. Although we grew apart in later years we will miss your Dave, until we meet again on our final posting. Bud

Although never having the honour of working with Dave, ( he had already retired upon my commencement of employment with the Town as Director of Parks & Recreation in 1979 )it became quite obvious to me very quickly, through conversations with elected and appointed officials,staff,facility users and the general public, that he had been a loyal, dedicated and well respected Municipal Public Servant, managing our Memorial Community Centre for many years. I always enjoyed, respected and heeded his candid opinions and advice received,when we would meet periodically,while running our respective errands in the community.On behalf of all Staff in our Community Services Department, we extend our sincere sympathy with respect to Dave's passing. Those who knew him, are richer persons for doing so, as Dave had that ability to affect you, in a very positive way.
