David John Botts

Born in Fortune Cove, P.E.I to Celina and Harold, he was the oldest of nine children. Married to the long-time love of his life, Dorothy (Peters). Father to David (Denise), Bob (Margaret) and Sheila (Dan). Grandfather to Miranda Letham, Steven Codispodi (Brittany), David Codispodi (Candace) and Danielle Codispodi. Survived by siblings Mary Walker, Emeline Botts, Stan Botts (Gloria), Jean Hagen (John), Florence Arsenault and Esther Dean (Harry). David will be deeply missed by his nieces, nephews, extended family and many friends.

He supported his family working at Dominion Foundries and Steel (Dofasco) for 37 years. In his younger years, he enjoyed fishing and hunting, but got his greatest pleasure from watching his children and grandchildren participating in their many sports. He was a regular participant in the Retiree's breakfasts where he was able to enjoy the friendship of many of his past coworkers.

The family would like to thank the nursing staff, social workers and doctors at the Juravinski Hospital (Nora Henderson) for the excellent and compassionate care provided.

In lieu of flowers donations to the Canadian Lung Association would be greatly appreciated. As per his wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at CRESMOUNT FUNERAL HOME, 322 Fennell Avenue E. on Sunday, May 7, 2023 from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. Online condolences can be left at cresmountfennellchapel.com
