DAVID PALMER David Palmer, age 74, died September 17, 2012 in Penticton, British Columbia, with his wife by his side. Dave was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was a proud member of the Winnipeg Fire Department and retired as Captain with 33 years, nine months service. He then moved to the Okanagan. Dave is survived by his wife of 40 years, Sharon; his daughter, Tracy (Bryan) and grandchildren Kelsey and Mikayla - Oliver; his son, Scott - Toronto; and his daughter, Amanda (Zac) - Penticton. He fought a lengthy battle with Lewy Body Parkinson's and finally came to rest at Moog Centre, Penticton. A special thank you to Dr. Lawrie. A private family service will be held this fall. A Firefighter's Prayer When I'm called to duty, God, wherever flames may rage, Give me strength to save a life whatever be it's age. Help me to embrace a little child before it's too late, Or save an older person from the horror of that fate. Enable me to be alert to hear the weakest shout, And quickly and efficiently to put the fire out. I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me, To guard my neighbour, and protect his property. And if according to your will I have to lose my life, Bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife. AMEN
