It is with great sadness we announce that on Thursday, April 18, 2019, Dave passed away surrounded by family members. Dave will be missed by his loving wife Pat of 50 years and her family, and his sister Gaye Dixon and her family. He will be sadly missed by his nephew Ian Thomas and family and niece Valerie Krupp and family. Dave will be lovingly remembered by his many other nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and great great nieces. Dave’s many Amateur Radio friends both here in Canada and in the United States and his Classic Car friends are also mourning his loss. At Dave’s request a private family service will be held followed by a public celebration of life to be held at a later date in June. The family would like to thank all the staff of 8G at Lakeridge Health Oshawa for their care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
