Roz and I offer our condolences to Dave's big family, most of whom we have had the good fortune to meet on happy occasions. We remember Dave was an unusually creative man, who was a musician, butcher, contractor, and a hobbyist who made exquisite models of aircraft. Although he had had unhappy experiences in school, it turned out that he had a knack for engineering. He even built a beautifully constructed home in Innisfil—and we had the good fortune to be able to spend a number of New Year's holidays with Sharon and Steve and others there. Dave was a modest man, who did not schmooze a lot but what he had to say about his life was utterly fascinating. We share in a feeling of loss of this remarkable man.
