almost 60 years, Gudy, who left us four years ago. He is very lovingly remembered by his sons, Peter (Rose), Paul (Karen), and Mark (Carolyn); his grandchildren, Matthew, Harrison, Deanna,
Samantha, Michaela, Hamilton, Carsten, and Kiara; as well as his brothers and their offspring in
Britain.
David emigrated from London, England after qualifying there as a
lawyer, and arrived on June 1, 1957, in Vancouver when he resolved to stay forever. Within days he
had hiked to the top of Grouse Mountain and in successive decades relished frequent
outdoor activities and adventures throughout the Pacific Northwest.
He soon met and married Gudy, and they lovingly raised three boys in West Vancouver,
where Hollyburn Country Club, Hollyburn Sailing Club, and St. Anthony’s Catholic Church were
favourite destinations. After 50 years of providing sound and thoughtful legal advice, he retired
from the practice of law in 2009 and continued travelling the world with Gudy.
He was known for his gentlemanly ways, never raising his voice or saying an unkind word to or
about anyone. David was always humble and respectful. Above all, his love of and dedication to his
family was unparalleled. Funeral Mass will be held at 10:30 a.m. on June 4, 2022 at St. Anthony’s
Catholic Church, 2347 Inglewood Avenue, West Vancouver, BC
Officiant, Father Gary Franken.
