It is with heavy hearts that the passing of Dave is announced. He left us very peacefully, leaving a long but courageous battle with cancer behind.

He will be sadly missed by his brothers Philip and Dominic (Mick), sister-in-law RoyeAnne, sister Faye; sons Allen and Dan, daughter-in-law Donita, three grandchildren Austin, Eddie and Jennifer. He will forever be in our hearts and in those of the 100's of friends who always enjoyed his company and his stories.

Dave was predeceased by his wife Darlene, mother and father, sister Barbara and brother Bob.

Dave was born in Oliver, BC, raised in New Westminster and at the age of 17 joined the Air Force. Prior to his retiring to Kamloops, he lived in Fort St. John. There he was very busy with his family, his business, his many friends and his volunteering. Extremely active in the Rotary Club, he received a Paul Harris Fellow.

As everyone who knew Dave will agree, he was always optimistic, always giving of himself and now even in death has given his body to UBC Research.

Dave was, as he liked to say
"one of the good guys".
