Margaret and Chris,
My deepest condolences on David's passing.  I always enjoyed chatting with David when he came in to our office. As you know my Father knew David for many years and considered him a good friend. We will all miss him.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Always enjoyed talking to David when I dropped by for books or when he visited my mother.  Very sad to hear of his passing.

Dear Margaret...I am deeply saddened to hear about David; most deeply saddened. We shall all miss 'The Bookman'...You take care...Dee Smith (Aurora)

Dear Margaret and family, I remember being inspired looking at Daivd's library when I was young.  You have my deepest sympathies and warm wishes in this difficult time.

Dear Margaret—My heart and thoughts go out to you and your family.

I was so very sorry to read about David's passing in the Era. I have been a customer at Starlight for many years, and I always enjoyed talking to David. Sometimes I would see him at Silver Lakes Golf Course, where we would compare the ways golf could humble us. I didn't even know he was battling cancer. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Margaret and Family, Steve and I wish to extend to you our deepest condolences.  Mr. Crocombe, rest in peace.  I will miss our epic debates.  One of the most interesting, outspoken, free thinking, honest, sincere persons I have ever met. We will truly miss you!!  God Bless you and your family.

Margaret and family, David was very generous, kind man and a good friend.
My heartfelt condolences to you, he will be missed.

Our paths crossed when my wife and I moved to Aurora 4 years ago but I consider it a very fortunate encounter although far too short. David was so quick of wit and sharing with his expansive if not quirky sense of humour, every meeting brought with it much hilarity and laughter. These gifts I will cherish for many years to come.

Our heartfelt condolences to David's family.

Bob and Theresa La Riviere

I am so sorry to hear of David's passing and my heart goes out to all of you. He was an intelligent, interesting, strong yet kind man, and it was an honour to work with him for six years at Starlight Books. You are all in my thoughts.

Margaret, thinking of you in your loss and wishing you strength and comfort at this difficult time. Condolences from us all at the Bayview Diner.

Margaret, my heart and prayers go out to you and your family. We will truly miss him.

My deepest sympathy Margaret to you and your family at this time of great sadness.  David was a very kind and generous man.

Worked with David for a short year at Starlight Books, he was always a such a strong boss and took pride in his work, he will be missed. My condolences to his family.

David's exceptional wit, knowledge and good humour will be greatly missed.

I truly loved this man and will miss him so much.

Deepest condolences to David's family.  He was an exceptionally fine man, and it gave me great delight to see his beloved Starlight Books expand more than once after the arrival of the big box book stores in the area. It would have been an honour to know him better.

Our hearts go out to you Margaret, Chris, Caroline, David Jr. and Clarissa. Played golf and tipped a few with David over the years. His humour will be saddly missed.

My deepest sympathies to Margaret,Chris, Caroline, David and Clarissa. David was a remarkable man and am honored to consider myself a friend of his. He was the most generous man I have known in all ways. He will always be remembered as being memorable and faultlessly honest.
