I was blessed to know Dave and Joy growing up beside them in Courtice! I remember Dave to be incredibly kind, caring, and generous. He and Joy were always so good to us as kids. I am sorry to hear of his passing! My thoughts and prayers are with you all! 

So very sorry to hear of your loss,  Cowie family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Joy and family,
  You are  in our prayers today, and in the days and months to come. Remembering Dave with fondness and admiration, such a beautiful example of Christian life! Even when he grew physically weaker we admired his strong determination to carry on the best he could. Such a sweet, gentle spirit, never to be forgotten.
  Sending our love and deepest sympathy,
Dave and Nancy

With fond memories I will always remember Dave as a faithful follower of Jesus and he would quietly direct others to Him when given the opportunity. He impressed on me to never give up. May he be richly rewarded in the heavenly realms. My deepest sympathy to Joy and all the family. 

We were neighbours over 25 years to Dave and Joy. To say he was a great neighbour is an understatement.  We have nothing but great memories of our time together. He was someone you could turn to and discuss  all things in life. Dave will be missed by all those who knew him. Rest in peace neighbour.

I volunteered with Dave during the beginning of "Bibles for Mission" which is now known as "Mission Thrift Store" .  He was a good volunteer. Very involved and dedicated to the success of the store while enjoying the social activitees.
He will be missed .  

It had been my and my family's pleasure to have been next-door neighbours to the Dave Cowie family for some 40 + years, and watching their three children grow into fine successful adults.
As good neighbours, we shared the cost of a new Toro snowblower about 25yrs ago, which served us both all those years, and after Dave & Joy moved to their apartment, it is still operating today. 
Dave was a trooper in the true sense of the word, a straight-shooting family man, a fine gentleman and neighbour.
His battle with cancer, including surviving major surgery, greatly intensified his Christian faith and although in the last two years, he also developed Parkinson's Disease, his faith never wavered. He and Joy were great prayer warriors and bible study leaders at Trulls. Our bible study group greatly benefitted from their leadership and solid participation. Our fond memories of those happy learning years will always remain with each of us.
R.I.P. Dave, dear friend. You will be missed by so many who knew and loved you; but we can all take comfort and rejoice in knowing you have gone home, to a far, far better place, away from all pain & suffering, and welcomed into the presence of your Saviour & Lord. Life's greatest gift and reward!

Have such great memories of Dave through two lenses: firstly as members of the Oshawa Travel Trailer Club, and then through our chosen work profession.   A soft spoken, kind man who was a good friend to our family.     Chris Ostler

Dave and I were patrol sergeants on D platoon for about four years. We spent many moments working together and getting to know each other. I considered him a very dear friend. He will be dearly missed. Rest in peace my friend.

Dear Joy & Family 
So sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. 
Our families have known each other for many years. I remember the very first time back in the early 60’s. As families we trailer together with the Oshawa Travel trailer club. We also camped at Fairfield’s Family Camp on East Lake near Cherry Valley for many years. Lots of camp fire and singing around the camp fire.  Went fishing many times with the boys on East Lake.  Of course lots of golfing as well. 
Many more memories over all the years. 
Thinking of you during this time and may our Heavenly Father comfort you with His peace which surpasses all understanding and comprehension 
God be with you all 
Your friend Wilf


Dave will be missed by all his friends at Bibles for Missions. He was such a good man and servant on our Lord through his time at the police and his volunteering in his community. Rest in peace Dave.

Dave was my supervisor when I was a junior constable in Oshawa in the early 90's. I will remember Dave as a kind man and always a gentleman. He would often ask to meet over the radio and would show up with a coffee/tea and treat . Condolences to Dave's family and friends.  Rest in Peace Dave.

To Joy and Family:  We are so sorry to hear of Dave's passing.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Our prayers go out to Joy and the extended family. Dave will be missed by all who knew him. He was a gentle giant who knew the Lord and was a great friend to both us and Mom & Dad.

Our Condolences ...Ken & Sheila Burgess
