Sending my deepest condolences to you and your family dear Catharine as you say goodbye to your beloved dad today .
Your dad was such a lovely man and I enjoyed our chats when we walked on the boardwalk on Qualicum Beach .
He was so welcoming to me when I moved to the island .
He loved his family very much  and told lots of 
“ stories” of family life together.
Big hugs to you today as you lay your dad to rest .
Rip my friend!

Such a sad passing for you all. I’m grateful to have met the wonderful man. I will always remember his bemused face, wondering what I was laughing so hard at in your family basement in Edmonton. 😁❤️. It was of course Good Morning Vietnam, who wouldn’t laugh at the legendary Mr. Williams, I always smile at the memory.  Well hopefully the two legends can make each other laugh now in their rest. Blessing to you all on this sad occasion. ❤️❤️

Spent few hours with David at his home in Parksville. Shared a few beers and told stories. Loved listening to his stories. Rest in peace wish I could gave known you longer.

David was such a kind, gentle man.  In is later years of travel he would always remember my grandson with a gift from his adventure.  On the days we worked together he would sneak him a gingerale to enjoy and make a big conspiracy about my not finding out.

He will be missed by many.
