On Thursday, February 28, 2019, on a glorious sunny, winter day, David was freed of his Alzheimer’s disease and is now golfing in the light and presence of his Lord. Survived by his dedicated and loving wife, Rina. Proud father of Steven (Tanya) and Anne (Shane). Loving Grandad of Keiran, Jade, Sydney, Charlie and Isabella. Brother of Valerie (Roy) of Spain. Dearly loved son-in-law of the late Anna Nardi. Brother-in-law of Sam and John Nardi and Connie White. Loving Uncle of Sav, Justin, Juliana, Alyssa and Jared. David will be missed by his friends in the academic profession, Duplicate Bridge Club, his golfing buddies and soccer pals. David’s ability to explain difficult math/physics formulas in simple terms made him an exceptional teacher. He loved all his students from his many years teaching at Bawating and St. Mary’s. A Celebration of David’s life will be held at Bethel Bible Chapel at a later date. Memorial donations to the F.J. Davey Home Foundation would be appreciated by the family. Heartfelt thanks to Graham and Grace Clark, Jan and Marv Bretherton, Jo-Ann and Howie Blewett. Thank you to the many close friends who provided their support, compassion and love throughout the years and especially David’s final days. We would like to thank Dr. Dan Fritz for his compassion and help in this long and difficult journey. Special thanks to the staff of Apple 3 and Cedar 3 at the F.J. Davey Home. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, you are all angels, God bless each of you! Arrangements entrusted to Northwood Funeral Home Cremation and Reception Centre (942 Great Northern Road, 705-945-7758).
