• I was very saddened to learn the news of Dave's passing. I met Dave in 1982 when I was hired to work in the accounting office of Tara Ford. He was a man I greatly respected and considered a mentor. His open door policy and sense of humor made working with him a pleasure. With sincere sympathies to all of the family. - Posted by: Lucille Gans (DiLallo) (Friend) on: Jun 10, 2013

• It was almost 50 years ago I first met Chips as the coach of the PINK helmeted Victoria Community Club team.

The Dirty DOZEN years with Chips were terrific and where he became a dear friend. Love ya Chips for all the great memories.

• I was sorry to see the notice about Dave. I met Chips when I started working at Tara Ford in 1981. He was a great person and really taught me all I know about working in a Dealership. He was always willing and eager to share his knowledge. Chips always had a smile and jokes to share with everyone. Many years later Chip came to recruit me back to to Tara Ford but this time the roles were reversed and I was the Manager and he did accounts receivable and Leasing. Chips never made this awkward and it was like old times working together again. I was at 2 of Chips retirements from the Dealership. I use to tease him that we would keep the gifts and announcements so that we could use them for a 3rd retirement. My thoughts and prayers go out to Nora and Family. - Posted by: Karen Iverson (Friend) on: Apr 08, 2013

• Sorry to here the news. Am currently in Florida. We were real good friends starting back in the early fifties playing junior against each other. Our paths would cross many times over the years with our boys playing hockey, but most recently we were together in the same foresome at The Tom Gill Golf Classic every fall. I will be returning April 10th, and be at the service, and will be donating to the charity. I will miss my old pal "The Chipper", Rest in Pease old buddie.

• As a follower of junior hockey in the early '50s I knew of Chips as a good player on Brandon teams that played against my favorite team of that time, Winnipeg Monarchs. It wasn't until many years later in the 1990's that I became acquainted with Chips and a friendship developed. Chips was a great person...friendly and genuinely interested in what others were doing. I found Chips to be genuine as a person and he had a great sense of humour. I will miss his friendly presence. My condolences to Nora and all the Adams family! - Posted by: John Rendall (Friend) on: Apr 06, 2013
