In retirement, Dave spent many happy and fulfilling hours volunteering at the Canadian Tank Museum. As retirees, he and Margaret also enjoyed many trips, in their fifth wheel trailer and overseas.
One of David’s greatest sources of joy was the family cottage. With help from family, David and Margaret built the cottage shortly after getting married. David enjoyed continually tinkering with and improving the cottage and property. The cottage has throughout the years been, and remains, a very special gathering place for family and friends.
A loving husband, father and grandfather, and a wonderful friend to many, David will be greatly missed.
