Fran Tremblay I was devastated to hear about David’s death. I worked with David in Ottawa and we became fast friends. He was such a gentle soul. My only wish is that David would have known how much he was loved by everyone who had the opportunity to meet him. As soon as you met David he touched your heart. My only regret is that we lost touch. David know that I loved you and hope you are happy and at peace now

From the moment I hired David at Club Assist, I knew our relationship was special. He made me want to go to work everyday. I was always going to meet a friend. A best friend.

Catherine and Mark How quickly David became part of my family. He had a quiet way of finding his way into my heart and became one of “the boys”. Our family is forever changed. Love the photo you chose – that was a wonderful, happy day and the way I will remember him.
Now more than ever do i realize the friend i had in David. So quiet but always listening. Why only now do i want to talk to him so badly. i wish i could have been there.
