He was born April 26, 1944 to parents James and Bette (Elizabeth) (nee Brown). Dave grew up on McKellar Street in Peterborough alongside his 2 brothers: Paul and John.
He later lived in Thornhill with his loving partner, Lydia, for many decades before returning back to Peterborough.
Dave had an ear for music and played the guitar starting at 10 years of age. He had an affinity for all things mechanical and a curiosity for science and math, not to mention his green thumb! In the early years of his vibrant youth, he worked at Peterborough Outboard Marine and later completed the Technology Program at Devry Institute of Technology in the 1980s.
In his later years Dave continued to enjoy gardening and spending time with his beloved companion cat, Blackie.
He is preceded in death by his parents, James and Bette, and brother, John.
Dave will be missed and remembered fondly by daughter, Tina (Garth); grandsons Haydn and Piers; devoted partner, Lydia; Cousins Carolee, Wayne, Bill and Shelley; family and friends.
A celebration of life will be planned for a future date.
