• My sincere condolences to you Joan and your family on Dave's passing. He will be missed as a co-worker at R.E.S.D., brother and executive member of our CUPE local and trustee on the provinces's Manitoba School Board Association Pension Plan. His accounting and tax services will be greatly missed by his many clients. Getting my taxes done each year was enjoyable as I got to see you both, catch up on family news, listen to Dave's wisecracks and then followed by his friendly smile. Rest in Peace my Friend. - Posted by: Peggy Carson (Friend) on: Jan 17, 2016

• To Dave's family; I am very saddened to hear of Dave's passing. Dave was a wonderful, bright shining soul. I was the CUPE Local's National Rep. during the time he drove bus with Riverside School District. I worked with Dave and the Local for 8 years and became so familiar with Dave's wonderful contributions to his brothers and sisters in the Cupe Local as well as his abilities in many avenues of his endeavours. He had many friends and a beautiful smile that was like a welcoming beacon into his life. He will be missed! Please hold the memories of happy times close as those are what will sustain in his passing. - Posted by: June Ross (I was the National Representative of the School District Dave was a part of) on: Jan 16, 2016

• In addition to his many talents and as stated in the obit, Dave was also involved in his Union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees. he contributed in many and varied important ways. He represented his non-teaching co-workers in Manitoba schools by serving as a Trustee on the province-wide Manitoba School Boards Association Pension Plan. He presented reports on this pension plan to various forums including his own CUPE Local, a School Division Sector Conference and at annual CUPE Manitoba Conventions. He was an excellent representative of his sisters and bothers in Manitoba School Divisions. I am shocked and saddened to learn of his passing. I recall many of our Sudoku "battles" at meetings over the years where we challenged each other to see who could solve the Sudoku first. Dave usually won. I will miss you, brother. - Posted by: Bob Malazdrewich (Union colleague) on: Jan 16, 2016
