My sincere condolences to Dave’s family and friends on the loss of this kind and engaging soul. I met Dave when I first started working at Granville Island when we would commiserate on our coffee breaks, our mutual friend Patty dragged me to his band’s shows, and I truly appreciated his talent in performing. I will always hold in my mind his solo performances, especially when he dragged out the Iron bar for a Tom Waits cover. Though we did not talk in the last ten years, my last meeting with him I also had the pleasure of meeting his daughter and it was obvious the love they had for each other, especially to also see how special she was to him. Peace be with you Dave, and all of you. Love, Erik.
