Special thanks to Larry Reynolds, Rabbi Alan Green and Rabbi Lawrence Pinsker who came to the hospital almost every day. We also wish to thank the doctors and nursing staff at Health Sciences Centre GH4 for all their dedication and nurturing care during David's stay. David was a very accomplished and outgoing young man who strived to be the best in all his endeavours. He was never one to back down in any situation and his determination and resolve persisted even during the most difficult times towards the end of his life. David's positive attitude, his love for life, his knowledge and influence impacted many and has left an indelible impression on our lives that will not be forgotten. David loved a good game of golf with his friends and was an avid sports fan, foremost NFL football. His favourite team was the Dallas Cowboys. He loved participating in Fantasy football, for which he had an uncanny knack (known as the Mosc factor' by his friends). He loved playing Poker with his Winnipeg friends and also competed professionally at the World Tournament of Poker in Las Vegas. David received his Bachelors degree in Honour Economics from the University of Manitoba and his C.S.C. designation in Toronto. David was a hard worker and chose career positions in management and finance over the years. His last position was as the Assistant Manager at HSBC for the last 12 and a half years. He excelled in the workplace and attained many awards and accolades. He enjoyed working and was very successful in all his career choices. David's love and commitment to his work was trumped by his love and dedication to his family and friends. David dreamed of being successful enough in his career to provide for those he loved. David was irreplaceable, he was a one of a kind individual and he will never be forgotten. David, you were a caring son, a loving brother, a doting uncle and an unconditional friend. David will be missed so very much and will be forever in all our hearts.
