    Uncle Dave was a great man and my dad’s best friend. My dad would light up when his big brother called. He is missed deeply.

    Hi Shirley
    I am sure you are not feeling up to much but when Steve sent this I had to respond. Many folks here in Mexico have also told me of Dave and you that warm our hearts. Stay healthy and well. Sharon

    Shirley, we are so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. We met in Mexico many years ago and we will always remember his love of music and drinks on the terrace, in your favourite spot overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. One of our fondest memories is coming to your house on the beach in Progreso for a short visit, ending up spending the day and enjoying your delicious sandwiches and conversations. Dave will be missed but not forgotten. Take care Shirley, we are thinking of you at this difficult time. Heather and Steve from Winnipeg
