David spent 31 years with the Canadian Postal Service as a letter carrier. He loved Texas Hold ‘Em poker, and loved travelling to destinations like Mexico and Las Vegas. No one could butcher a language quite like Dave. He will be remembered for his sense of humour, his wit and puns. Dave is also known as the Prince of Puns and the General of Groaners. All were welcome at his home.
