If you knew Dave well, you couldn’t help but love him. Dave had a special knack for giving that funny little smirk and making us all laugh in the most busy and stressful situations. All who worked with him will always love and appreciate him for that. He was always up for a good joke and shenanigans back in the kitchen, both at the Primrose Gardens and at The Oaks. He was a loyal and good buddy to all who knew and loved him. He will sure be missed. Sincere condolences to Alison and all of Dave’s family and friends. May your special memories of your times together being you comfort and peace. Giant hugs to you all. 🩷

In Memory of Our Dear Colleague, Dave.
We are all deeply saddened by the passing of our dear colleague, Dave. He was not only a dedicated and hardworking member of our team but also a friend to many of us.
Dave brought immense talent and enthusiasm to our workplace. He was known for his kindness, dedication, and great sense of humor. His contributions to the company were invaluable, and he consistently went above and beyond to support both his customers and colleagues.
His lighthearted spirit and knack for finding humour in chaos will be missed more than you can imagine. To say that no one enjoyed Dave’s humour more than Dave, would be an understatement.
He will be deeply missed, but Dave’s spirit will always remain a part of our team.
Tom and Katharin Buhlman and the staff at Imperial Roofing.
Savanna-Rae, condolences to you at the loss of your father. Your NOVA IT family is thinking of you as you navigate such a difficult time.
Alison and family so sorry for your loss Jan and Cecilia
So sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. Condolences to his entire family as we know his devilish humour will be missed. I had the pleasure of working with Dave on many projects and his honesty and integrity stood out and separated him from his competitors . We will always remember the fun renaming ceremony for their boat at Bogeys Marina . It was quieter there after Dave sold his boat .
My most sincere condolences go out to Allison, family and friends. I knew Dave quite some time ago from People’s Church. May God’s peace be with you all during this difficult time.
