David was no ordinary man.He devoted his life to helping and caring for others, and in doing so achieved more inner peace and humility than anyone else I ever met. He was and will always be my role model for being a Good Samaritan and a true gentleman. I hope I can be half the man he was. Rest in peace.

My sincere sympathies to family. I feel honored to have gotten to know David over the past few years during my many visits to Alan’s shop. He will be missed.
Dave and Wanda Winaut
Just a few short weeks ago David came to tell us of his illness. We were shocked and saddned but he said he has lived 72 years( 52 married) and no regrets. In reading all the heartfelt messages there was a common thread of David’s life. He was a gentle man and a caring man to his family and his many friends.During the Liverpool run in 2013 where he ran with Arnold was just an example of his kindness to others.I will always remember his golfing tips and his latest running tip he heard in Digby when you ran Marion. David was one of the kind and Marion you lost your soul mate and We hope you will continue gardening and running with David by your side.
Jean Strum
Dear Marion:
I was so sorry to learn of David’s passing. He always had a smile on his face and enjoyed a good joke. I know his thoughtful, caring demeanor will be remembered by all who knew him. Do try to remember the good times, it really does help. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely,
Jean Strum

John Rideout / Jenny Keenan
Dear Marion,
During the summer of 2013, I was running in Moncton and a passing car called out my name. Later, in September, you and David ran in the Berwick 5 miler and it was then that he told me that he was the “mystery” driver in Moncton. He (and I ) had a great chuckle when I told him that I had no idea who had called out to me.
David was a true gentleman. David and you made a great couple and you both contributed to the sport of running.
You are in our thoughts.

Marion: My condolences with David’s passing. I was away at the time and learned of his death on return. I have fond memories of running around Western Head with David years ago when I lived in Liverpool (’78-82). At that time, David had just taken up running and would run short distances with me as I passed the house. He always told me he would run around the entire Head with me someday and, in time, he was ultimately doing this. Always enjoyed seeing you and him at the races, most recently 2 months ago in Digby. Again, my thoughts and prayers for a good guy.

Dear Marion and family,
Cliff and I are so sad to know this news. Mitch too is sad to know the man who kept him running so he could keep up on summer visits to NS is gone. We will miss his smiling face and wave as we make the turn on Shore Rd but will not forget him, his blueberry wine, and fresh organic produce. He was one of a rare breed of quiet generous souls.
Please accept our deepest condolences.

Gary & Heather Crossland
Marion & Family,
We were so sad and shocked to hear of David’s passing. I remember the first time I met him at the Old Italy Cross Fire Hall.
He was so wonderful and told me a lot about you and himself. He talked about his marathons and how much you both enjoyed them.
He also loved the Music Jams. You both were such kind people. David was playing his guitar and always had that wonderful smile we will never forget. He was always happy and told us how much he enjoyed Gary’s Guitar Playing and my singing. You both also were so great to bring Fred to the Jams. Our Love Prayer’s and Sincere Sympathy goes to all of you at this very sad time. David is now busy in Heaven running his Marathon with God and playing his guitar for the angels. God Bless you all.
Love Gary & Heather Crossland.
