DAVID JOHN HARRISON It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved son, father, brother and friend, Dave Harrison. Dave passed away peacefully at home January 20, 1999. Dave lived in Winnipeg for his entire 41 years. Dave was employed by the CPR since 1979, initially as a Stationary Fireman, then went on to perform a variety of duties within the railroad. Left to treasure Daves memory are mother Joan; grandmother Mary; sister Lynn; brother Peter; nieces Nicole and Larissa and his cherished son Blake, whom held the largest place in Daves big heart. As well, Dave will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by his closest friend Jeff and an entire host of family and friends. Dave was a consummate entertainer. He lived and loved to make people laugh. His keen sense of humour, coupled with his razor sharp wit enabled Dave to keep those around him in stitches. Dave was an avid thrill seeker. His adventurist side could never resist indulging in activities with an element of danger. Some of his fondest moments were spent bungee jumping, wheelstanding street bikes at 70 m.p.h., etc. His enthusiasm for such activity earned Dave the nickname "Rock". Dave was a gifted musician. He possessed an extraordinary ability to express himself through his lyrics and musical compositions. A service celebrating Daves life will be held at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street, on Friday, January 28 at 2:00 p.m., with Rev. Peter Cain officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations to a trust fund for Daves son may be made to Blake Flynn in care of the Bank of Montreal, 330 Portage Ave. Account number 05737-001-8071-369. I want to be remembered by people for what they found that made them happy (bad jokes, my music) or whatever good memories they have of me that made them smile. - Dave Harrison Cropo Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements 586-8044. www.members.home.net/daveharrison
