I met Dave through Tracy while attending the MRT Program at Confederation College. Dave was a wonder person, who laughed and enjoyed life. I remember those DIM SUNG Sunday Brunches at the Cumberland Restaurant. I had the great honour of standing up for Tracy and Dave 31 years ago, and over the years we may not have always been in touch but do know what a wonderful couple Tracy and Dave made. Dave was a wonderful proud father. My heart goes out to Tracy and Victoria along with all the family. May peace be with you during this most difficult time.
