Richard Stovel Dear Pat:- How very sad to know that David is no longer with us. He was a very close friend when we were together on the RFMC and I relied on his wise counsel.
While our loss can in no way be compared to yours we, too will miss a very fine gentleman. Hopefully you will find some comfort in the fond memories of your interesting lives together.
If Helen could, I know she would join me in extending our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Affectionately, Richard

May the memories you shared with your Dad and knowing that he is at peace bring you comfort. Though we did not know your Dad, all we need to do is look at the amazing daughter he and your Mom raised to see get a glimpse at a wonderful person you call “Dad”.

I have so many wonderful memories of our times together, New Year’s eve, Grey cup games and he and my Dad sitting on the driveway waiting for me to come home from my grade 7 class trip to Fanshawe Park. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
