Jimmy, Neal and Mrs. Walker, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Althought, I don't remember if I have ever met him in person, I have met his genius through his sons. He will live on through all he has touched.

Jim and Neal - I enjoyed a wonderful day of golf with you and your father many months ago and found him to be extremely level-headed. In fact, if my memory serves me right, he was the only one who didn't throw a club that day. I will keep him in my prayers.

Regards - Mark (Tino's friend)

Sue and I were very sad to hear the news about Dave. We have many fond memories of him over the years, and I owe much to him.



Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the service, but will certainly be thinking of him often in the days and weeks to come.

Beth & family - We are so very sorry Beth. Wish we could be with you at this sad time. We have such great memories of Dave from the first time we met him in London, your wedding in Lucknow, all the super 'cold' camping trips, weekends at the cottage at Lions Head, the arrival of twins and your last visit with us in Ottawa. Whenever we think of Red River porridge, canoeing and Algonquin Park we will remember Dave and his special smile.



Our sympathy,

Dave played a pivitol role in my life... one that I can never repay. Just as he is recognized as a world-class researcher, Dave was a wonderful teacher.



Tonite my world seems much smaller, and much sadder...

We are so sorry. Beth we have fond memories visiting with the kids and you and Dave. The kids had sooo much fun with Duffy. Katie said to me(Terry) today that she wremebered breaking a plate and Dave so much liked talking to Terry about football. The kids always looked forward to visiting with you when we were visiting Grammy and Popop. Thanks to both of you for inviting so often; we have great memories. He was a wonderful man and will be missed dearly.



All our love,



Terry, Paulette, AT and Katie
