David “Dave” Gwylym Roberts died Wednesday, February 5th, after complications related to Vascular Dementia, in his 78th year.
Born in Kirkland Lake on May 25th, 1942, Dave was predeceased by his parents William “Bill” and Gladys Roberts. Dave is survived by his daughter Megann (James) Roberts, sister Judy (Jack) Stewart, and many family members throughout Canada. The proud owner-operator of DG Roberts Ltd, Dave was a lifelong wearer of his blue collar; he was happiest when working with his hands. There was virtually no mechanical, electrical, or building problem he could not solve. Dave loved his coffee, his cigarettes, and his daughter (not necessarily in that order!).
You are invited to join family on Monday, February 10th between 2 pm and 5 pm to celebrate Dave’s life at Thompson Funeral Home in Aurora. Special thank you to all the staff at Southlake Regional Health Centre who cared for Dave in his last days.
