A beautiful service your father would be so proud. A fitting end to a wonderful life. So many memories and a photo history of all the people and events so important in your Dads life. Gai was the love of his life but when he lost her he had you Mark, Glenda, Scott and Jenny. You made him the man that he was. Then came his boys. His grandsons that he was ever so proud of. A man who lived a wonderful life surrounded by the most wonderful family who he loved dearly. My thoughts are with you. Love Robyn Condrick

Sending love in this time of remembrance. Saddened to hear about David's passing. He was a loving soul whose presence brought joy to our neighborhood and my childhood. I have fond memories of our families growing up together, especially the lively music often played in what I now know to be a man cave. While this is a challenging time, I find comfort in knowing that David and Gai are together once more. Sending love. May the memories shared bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time

So sorry to hear this. So many good memories flooding in. Much love to Mark, Glenda and Scott, and Jen and Zoe. Very sorry we can't join you but will be spiritually joining you in prayer. Much love from cousin Mary and Michael Poirrier. We lost Gai's cousin, John Mcevoy, the same day, so we grieve together.

Sending my love to Mark, Glenda Scott and Jenny. Loved spending time with you guys at number 7, in Belrose. Your dad was always so dry and funny. An all-round fabulous man. He will be sadly missed xxx
