We were very saddened to hear of the passing of our longtime friends Dave and Dorthy. We have many incredible memories with them. Captain Dave was always willing to lend a helping hand when needed and to talk politics. He was a talented builder and artisan. Dorthy was always so warm and welcoming. She was a wonderful cook and hostess. She had an amazing eye for style. We will miss them both very much. Condolences to family and friends.
Love, Carole, Dwayne and Amy Myers

My condolences to the Harper Family on David’s passing. I have fond memories of visiting David during the O’Neil Family reunions. David graciously opened up his home on Riverbend Road to family numerous times and I will always remember his kindness.

David and I met in the 50’s in high school and remained friends over the years. He liked to talk and I liked to listen so we got along well. After school was over for the day he visited our house on Ann Street many times. Sometimes his mother would have to call and tell him to come home.
We shared an apartment in Toronto when he went to Ryerson University to get his civil engineering degree and even after I moved to the east coast we still visited back and forth. Took road trips together and enjoyed each others company.
When he was suddenly taken without warning I know it was a terrible shock to his partner Dorothy, sister Linda and brothers Bob and Peter. My sincere condolences to them and all their extended families.
Goodbye my old friend.

To Dorothy, Linda, Bob, Peter and Dave's many nieces and nephews. Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of Dave. He was a generous and kind friend, always ready to lend a hand. He and Phil shared many adventures over the years. Many fond memories come to mind of happy times at the cottage on Lake Temagami. RIP old friend.

I learned so much from Uncle Dave over the years though my many summer visits to the house on Riverbend and the cottage on Island 5, as well as his trips to Brampton. Besides learning how to hold a circular saw or drive a boat, he showed me the importance of being thoughtful and planning ahead, having a sense of humour, taking things seriously (maybe too much), and the value staying connected with friends and family (I'm sorry to say I never got this one quite right). I am so grateful for everything he gave me. I will miss his great mind and his big heart.

Those of us at Taoist Tai Chi will miss Dave greatly.
He was an enthusiastic member over the years and we all enjoyed his stories.
Our thoughts go out to Dorothy and we will never forget his devilled eggs at our dinners.

I was so sorry to hear about my uncle Dave’s passing. My thoughts are with everyone in the family. I love this picture, dancing with uncle Dave, 1981-82 or so. He was so supportive of my brother Ben and I over the years. He will be missed.

We were so sorry to here of Dave's passing. Whether trying to organize breakfast at the duck hunt (my first memory) or building that trimaran sailboat, he was a wonderful mix of imagination and orderliness. A strong thread in the family is broken

I will greatly miss Uncle Dave's presence in my life and my children's and grandchildren's lives. I will miss him at his place at the many family dinners and gatherings we had. He truly enjoyed those times, he loved having family around and he loved to get a take home package of leftovers :)
He was a thoughtful and generous man, a wonderful conversationalist, always had interesting details to share on just about any topic and was truly interested in everyone's lives and their stories..
I also remember fondly all of the times as kids we spent at his house on Riverbend Road, trekking through the back trail from Grandpa & Grandma's to his and the trips to the cottage on Island, 5 Lake Temagami.
Rest easy Uncle Dave, Love Kathy xo

Our condolences to Dorothy, Grandma Linda, Uncle Bob, Uncle Peter and families. We were fortunate to have Uncle Dave at many family dinners, always with great stories to tell us. A very knowledgeable man, you'd always learn something new after hearing him speak. He will be greatly missed by many great (and great-great) nephews and nieces as well.
