Shortly after arriving in Canada Dave worked at BF Goodrich for approximately 10 years, and later for a time enjoyed his own limousine business.

Dave considered himself a millionaire because of his family and friends.
Cremation has taken place. As per Dave’s wishes, there will be no formal memorial service.

Special thanks go to the caring staff at GRH, ICU and especially Mr. Jason Stainton.
