Dave was beloved husband of 63 years to Sherrill (nee Stanley)who predeceased him in 2020, he continued to write love letters to the light of his life until his passing. Thecouple met at the Como Inn, located near Hudson, Quebec where Dave was the bandleader- they marriedthe following year in June 1957. Together they raised four children, always willing to accept more into the foldthey opened their hearts to another daughter twenty years into their marriage.\n\n\nDave and Sherrill traveled the world, visiting over 120 countries on 6 continents. Dave was an avid writer andenjoyed sharing his travel adventures with family and friends with a weekly “Travelog” highlighting their journey.\n\n\nDave started his career in advertising before moving to DuPont where he held many positions and implemented policies that remain in effect today. After 39 years Dave retired from DuPont holding the position of Vice President of Human Resources.\n\n\nDave’s early fascination with trains and trolleys led to a lifetime hobby. In 1959 he became part of the publication committee in the Canadian Railroad Historical Association (CRHA). By 1966 the monthly publication was a 20-24 page booklet with readership of 1,500 people around the world.
