David was diagnosed with cancer in January. He battled courageously throughout his treatment, but his body decided it had had enough.
David leaves behind his wife, Linda, of 52 years, children Hilary and Stewart (Nancy), and five grandchildren, Maggie, Ian, Eric, Cameron, and Gordon. David was predeceased by his brother Ronnie (Rhona) with whom he maintained a special bond despite spending most of their lives separated by an ocean. He is fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews and extended family in Canada and Northern Ireland.
David arrived from Northern Ireland in 1965 and after some shenanigans, settled down into marriage and a career with Honeywell. David was an avid golfer and a member of Whitevale Golf Club for over 25 years. He enjoyed the finer things in life, always taking great pleasure in good food and any kind of drink. David was a lifelong sports fan with a special interest in Premier League Soccer. He enjoyed home repairs, and gardening, and he took great pride in the flower boxes he created every summer.
A private family service will be held. Donations to the Terry Fox Foundation or the Scott Mission would be greatly appreciated.
