Dave was born January 5, 1948 in St. Catharines, Ontario.  In the late 70's he ventured to northern Manitoba and was employed by Manfor, Repap and Tolko until his retirement.  He resided in Wanless, Manitoba for the remainder of his life. 

In keeping with David's wishes, there will not be a formal service.  A formal obituary will be published in his hometown of St. Catharines and our family will gather for a celebration of his life at a later date.
