With heavy hearts we announce the passing of a gentleman, and an athlete. David Richard Feder died at the Health Sciences Centre in St. John’s on Friday, May 29 in the presence of and surrounded by the love of his devoted wife Marcy and close friends and family, following a sudden illness.
David, a lifelong resident of Forest Road, was a devoted husband to his wife, Marcy Greene, who he called “Sunshine”. He also leaves to mourn his brother in law Gerry Greene (Marilyn Frost) nephew Gerard Greene (Laura) precious great niece Amelia, and nephew Patrick (Paddy) Fort McMurray, AB and great nephew Dexter, lifelong friends Michael Goodridge and Andy Woodford, Godson Peter Goodridge, and close friends Bruce Halleran, George Casey, and Kay Connors. David will also be missed by members of the Whelan family (special Aunt Betty Lou Whelan), as well as his Israeli cousins Yochai, Oriya and Moria Gabsi, his cousins in California and his cousins Ada O’Reilly, Bill Goldstone, and Bernie Kavanaugh
David was predeceased by his parents Herb and Dr. Alison (O’Reilly) Feder.
Unfailing kindness and decency defined him; gentlemanly ways were his default. David presided with grace and ease in realms that honored the legacy of Herb and Alison beautifully, providing personal assistance to Alison’s university colleagues and friends long after her passing and volunteering to assist with the fundraising activities of his father’s fireside St. John’s Rotary group.
David was a man of deep faith and spirituality, embracing both the Catholic and Jewish religions of his parents. He served as an extraordinary minister for many years at St. Pius X parish, the church of his youth. Following his father’s passing he joined the Jewish faith community, embracing many of its traditions and teachings and becoming a very active member of its community. He enthusiastically learned the Hebrew language to participate fully in services and became a leader in the community, speaking at events such as Bar Mitzvahs and funerals. His exploration of his Jewish heritage and culture led him to connect with cousins from all over the world; from Israel to California, and as an only child, those connections mattered so much to David.
David was a passionate sportsman and fan from a very early age. As in his life the same traits mirrored themselves in the sports world, as he was known as a gentleman, good sport and humble to a fault. His commitment to training and excelling in the many sports he participated in was fascinating. He excelled on both a national and provincial level in many sports including Squash, Baseball, Ball Hockey and Running.
David was also known for his love of nature and all living creatures, including cats, dogs, and birds. He loved his time with special canine friend Sonny Goodridge. He made friends with the neighbourhood crows and could be seen feeding them and following their patterns. To be in the presence of David with any kind of animal was to truly witness the talent of a “whisperer”. They sensed his gentle nature and responded in kind.
David and Marcy built a marriage rooted in love and based on the foundation of a friendship formed in childhood through their parent’s social circle which was tightly intertwined. They enjoyed walking the streets of the city’s east end together, and following David’s daily routine, filled with errands that centered around helping those in his orbit in need, or requiring assistance, they enjoyed evenings at home watching TV series or major sporting events where David’s expert commentary would never cease to amaze Marcy.
David’s family wishes to thank the doctors and nursing staff at the Health Sciences Centre Emergency Department, and Intensive Care Unit for their care and compassion. And special thanks to Dr Keegan Au for his ongoing care

Dave, first and foremost a dear friend, and to me a mentor and someone I’ve always looked up to. I met Dave for the first time as a junior squash player circa 85 and he always had time for me back then, and I’ve never forgotten that. A great friend, tremendous squash player, and one of the most kind-hearted people I’ve ever met. RIP Dave. My deepest condolences to Marcy and family.
Marcy,
I am so sorry to hear the news of David’s passing.
Please know I am thinking of you and sending you Love.
Tammi ❤️
My condolences to Marcy and family. I knew Dave from the squash court where he was a fierce competitor but always a gentleman. He was a wonderful, kind and caring person.
Marcy so sorry to hear of David’s passing.I just heard of his passing today..I especially remember him from Puis X Saturday mass.I will certainly keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
I was saddened to hear about Dave’s passing this week when I read John Gushue’s online remembrance of him. I told Johnnyhis story and pass it along now..
I went to Brother Rice High School with Dave and played some touch football with him in those days. A bunch of us played in Bannerman Park, next to Circular Road where the softball field is. They were two snowy games. Andy Woodford may remember them. One year we called it the Snow Bowl, the next year was the Slush Cup.
I haven’t seen Dave in years but, the odd time when I bumped into him, he was always upbeat and friendly, just like school days. It hurt my heart to learn that he’s gone. Condolences to his family and friends. He was a fine man.
Marcy, so sorry for your loss.. Dave was an exceptional guy. He will be missed by many. May your wonderful memories bring you comfort in the days ahead. .
Marcy, I’m so shocked and saddened by Dave’s sudden passing. He was like a brother to me on the squash court. We went to countless tournaments together along with Tols Chapman and shared strategies, practiced together and talked about how to win against opponents. To say he was a gentleman was an understatement. He was a fierce competitor and lost gracefully but I knew he wasn’t happy after the few times he did lose. We would talk about where he went wrong and immediately worked on a strategy to correct the problem.
Please accept my sincere sympathies. I’m sorry I missed the wake. I am a better man for having known Dave. God bless him.

I wasn’t aware of Dave’s passing until today, otherwise I would have definitely been at his wake.
Please accept my sincere sympathies. I am a better man for having known Dave. God bless him.
Marcy
My deepest sympathies on your loss.I knew David as a child as well as his parents. His grandmother Sadie Feder lived with my family when I was a young child. So I I remember the family well
Marcy,
So very sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences at this difficult time.
Ella
Marcy,
Deepest sympathies on your profound loss. David was a prince among men, truly the best of us. My thoughts are with you, and all who loved him.
Dear Marcy
My heart broke for you when I heard this sad news about David. I never met David but I can see from these comments and the beautiful obituary what kind of person he was.
I hope you can take strength from all of the love being expressed here.
Love from Billy and Neena in Twickenham, England
My condolences to the Feder family with David’s passing.
I remember David from Brother Rice High school.; a great all-round guy .
He had unmatched sports enthusiasm and a love squash.
My sympathies to his family and friends.
May his memory be a blessing.
Marcy
Very sorry to read this news. I am travelling so missing the wake and funeral. The obituary captures David so perfectly – a gentle kind man always. I had much contact with David during the glory days of the Cabot club fitness centre. he was the star on the squash courts. But David generously shared his star talents by coaching others and even agreeing to play the odd game with much lesser qualified competitors. His sport commentaries and predictions were sought after by all – and were always accurate. He was a super fellow member of that great Cabot club known for the comradely and friendships of the members, as well as a fitness centre. My sympathies to you. Bill
I met Dave at the Aquarena gym and we became friends for years. When the gym shut down for maintenance we remained in touch and I always looked forward to a phone call from him. He was always interested in how I was doing & I will miss our chats.
He was truly the nicest , caring man I ever met.
My deepest condolences to the family.
Marcie,
Sorry to hear the news of Dave’s passing. He was a kind and gentle soul. He will be missed.
So very sorry to hear of David’s passing. Sincere condolences Marcie to you and your family. Always enjoyed our chats whenever I ran into Dave. He always took the time to have a good yarn. A gentleman for sure and a very soft spoken man until he brought his, ‘A’ game onto the squash court and fiercely competed at the national level. Dave was always very humble. Rest in peace my friend!
Marcy,
So sorry to hear of your husband’s passing. You are in my thoughts.
I am so heart broken for your loss. David was always so kind and wonderful. He was such a wonderful friend and I enjoyed sitting with him at Friday night services or catching up at the supermarket. He will be greatly missed.
I was very sorry to hear of David’s passing. Although I didn’t know him well, I always enjoyed the opportunities we had to chat, particularly in more recent years at The Works. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
Marcy,
So sorry to hear of David’s passing, sending our deepest condolences. We became great friends over the years. May he res in peace
Marcy,
Ches and I were shocked to learn of David’s untimely passing.
We were neighbours when David was a teenager. We watched him play endless basketball in the shared driveway behind our house, often bouncing that ball until well after midnight on summer nights. We also marveled at his relationship with his loyal and constant companion, his dog..
Our infrequent contact in recent years always showed David as a thoughtful, engaged and kind man…a true son of his lovely parents, Herb and Alison.
Our sincere condolences to you Marcy.
Lois Hoegg and Ches Crosbie
Marcie,
What a beautiful soul Dave was. His infectious smile and fun-loving demeanor was shared with everyone. He will be remembered fondly and the loss is felt deeply.
Marcy,
I was so saddened to hear the news of David’s passing. He was indeed a gentleman and a very kind man! Rob always spoke so highly of him! Sending my deepest condolences to you and your family.
Marcy.
I am so sorry to hear of David’s passing. While I did not know David personally , he seems to have been quite a special person . My sincere condolences to you at this very difficult time.

Dear Mercy,
David was a true Righteous Among the Nations, and that is how I would wish him to be remembered on his gravestone. I would want everyone who passes by to see what a righteous, kind, and truly angelic person he was.
To me—the mother of Moria and Yochai, and grandmother of Uriya—he was like the brother my own mother had and lost. May his soul rest in paradise, for this is what we Jews believe: that his soul will be in Heaven.
My throat tightens with grief because this loss is so painful, yet this was the will of the Creator. There never was, and never will be, another person quite like him. Humble, modest, and righteous—a man whose goodness will be remembered for generations.
How deeply we loved him, and how much he was a source of support, wisdom, and comfort. Despite my imperfect English, he always understood me and my husband, Yaakov. He called me “Mama.”
He treated everyone with dignity and respect, regardless of nationality or religion. Yet he always remembered to wish us Chag Sameach, Shabbat Shalom, and Happy Birthday in the Hebrew he learned from Moria.
We carry a deep longing for him and an abundance of love.
A warm embrace to you, Mercy.
With love,
Yehudit and Yaakov Gabsi
Israel
(Parents of Yochai and Moria, and grandparents of Uriya)
David Feder, my dear beloved friend
Our common journey started in 2004 when I arrived to St. John’s NFLD as a young Israeli emissary- a Hebrew teacher with a great passion and curiosity for life people and nature. That your I met an angel- YOU.
You have been my closest friend, my most devoted student, my greatest mentor – for life, gratitude of a sweet loving heart. A brother in heart and my soulmates. I have no words to express how sad and overwhelmed I am by your sudden absence. Sad for Marcy that you loved so so much and sad for our world to have miss an angel as you.
Your voice of eternal guidance, gratitude, joy, discipline, love and grace and being such a gentleman – to beloved Marcy and anyone who was lucky to be around you – would forever be a shining star in my path of life.
‘This too shall pass’ was our secret code for sad phases or impossible moments- just like now.
We shared so many great moments throughout our long great conversations overseas- over the years. I truly cannot accept neither realize why you left suddenly- without a warning sign and a chance to say goodbye.
Thank you for your forever loving kind and special way of reaching out and helping. I know how much you loved our family – in the most loving gentle way.
On our last talk Tuesday, we were laughing and crying after the goodbye ceremony from Ada. ‘You never know if it’s gonna be your last talk with a person – so you better be at your best as if it’s your last one. Who would have believed how accurate we were, without knowing.
I said ‘Dave, if God forbid you ever go before me, I won’t find the words summarize life-long friendship into 5-10 minutes speech with people I am yet to know. So sad, so true, so vivid now – only a week after -Yet lifetime away.
I will always love you as my brother and carry your soft voice, love and guidance in my heart. Your energy will always shine upon this world through the heart of us the friend family and animals you loved so so much. And we all loved you back, even more.
I’m so honored and grateful to have been in your friend, your Hebrew teacher and mentor for Jewish routes and identity, for the common journey in the seek for meaning and your eternal student for goodwill and TLC.
I love you more than words can express דויד and I miss you so so much, my dear beloved friend.
Shalom, Moria מוריה

I met Dave at the Aquarena and we became good friends for years.
One of the most unique individuals I have ever met and I loved the man and will miss him.
I was very sorry to hear of David’s passing from this world. I first met David at Brother Rice High school where he befriended so many classmates with his kindness and the gentleman way about him.
Rest in Peace David and my sincere condolences to his family and close friends.
Marcy, I am so sorry to hear about David. He was one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. If you had a conversation with him about anything at all, you left with a full heart and a smile on your face. I admired his devotion to the important things in life: you, his family and his faith. His loss is immeasurable. I will never forget him.
Marcy, I’m so sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences on the loss of your husband, David. I hope memories provide comfort to you during this difficult time.

We were so sad to hear of your husband’s passing. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Wishing you comfort in the memories you shared and strength in the days ahead.
With love
Marcy,
I am so sad to hear the passing of Dave.
I first met Dave approximately 45 years ago, through Mike Goodridge, playing baseball at Bannerman Park with the gang during school summer vacation.
Even at an early age (17), Dave had a unique personality. Dave was kind with a gentle soul.
Dave was a great athlete. I enjoyed watching Dave playing some epic squash matches at the Aquarena..
I made the mistake one time going for a run with Dave around Quidi Vidi Lake. After the third loop around, I noticed not a bead of sweat coming from Dave’s forehead. He was talking to me like he was sitting at his kitchen table. That was the first and last time I ran with Dave. That guy could run all day!
Rest in peace Dave.
Howard Manning, Langley, BC
Marcie

I knew David since he was a Grade 4 student at Pius Tenth School. After leaving Pius Tenth the. next time I saw him he had graduated from university.
I re-connected with him when we were members of The Works. His knowledge of fitness and investing was very impressive. Most of all David was a magnificent person who exuded happiness, kindness. and a zest for life. Gone far too soon. God Bless him.
Our love and thoughts are with you, Marcy. We are deeply saddened by David’s passing. He was the embodiment of all that is good.
To Marcy, David’s Sunshine, I send my condolences on the all too sudden passing of David, your husband and the friend of so many, who will be forever known and loved for his kindness, generosity, and humour. All the comments here speak of all those things and more. May you with your dear family and friends be comforted in this sorrowful time and may David, my cousin and friend, rest in peace.
Marcy,
My condolences for your loss. My Dad and yours were great friends. I knew and cherished Dave and our conversations at the Delta fitness center for 20 years plus. How could you not like him quiet but well spoken and informed on most any topic. and always in a good mood..
Ric Mercer
When we remember David it will be his always present smile and his personality – full of kindness. He was a true gentleman and a gentle man. Marcy, I am so sad for you and my sincere condolences to you and your family and friends. As you know, we lived on Forest Road and I have many memories of David and my three brothers at St. Bon’s and hanging out on the road picking up chestnuts.. All through these many years David would greet me as if we had chatted yesterday. He was an advocate for me and my sister at the Aquarena and was so supportive. David, you will be missed by many and may you Rest in Peace. Sue
Dear dear Marcy. So sorry for the loss of your David. Please know I’m thinking of you. Sending love❤️
Sue Malone-Tucker
Marcy, my deepest condolences on the sudden passing of David. May he rest in peace.
To Marcy and the Feder family, my sincere condolences on hearing of David’s sudden passing. I recall David from the early 1980s when we were in the same class (11-38, with BrotherJake Batterton) at Brother Rice. I had come from St Bon’s and David, like many of our other classmates, had come from Gonzaga. I remember David being a very kind soul and an all round good guy, as well as being quite an athlete. May he rest in peace. Peter Williams
Sending my deepest condolences to Marcy, David’s entire family and his circle of friends at this most difficult time.
Marcy, my deepest condolences on the loss of your husband David. May his memory be a blessing..
Marcy and families
I am deeply saddened to learn of David’s passing.
Our families have a long history of close friendship back to his dad and my mom’s families growing up.
I’ve known David since he was a child, and he was always a special type of individual. His kindness knew no bounds.
I had the honour of nominating and inducting his dad into the Golf Hall of Fame and also initiated the Feder Cup annual championship at Bally Haly.
I well remember David and his Dad at 6:30 on a Saturday morning to watch the inaugural tee off in the first year.
David often mentioned how proud and thankful he felt.
I will cherish David’s memory. He will be missed.
Marcy,
Dave was one of the most kind and caring people i have ever met in my entire life. He would call me every so often and we would chat for a longtime. He was always so interested to find out what I had going on and was absolutely delighted about my progress in my masters program. He was so knowledgeable about sports, fitness, movies, tv, and overall self-care which we had several great discussions about. His kindness was seen by everyone and his absence will be felt by everyone as well.
Dave would do anything for you and I will miss him more than anything.
My sincere condolences
Sam
Marcy,
I played baseball with Dave many years ago with Gonzaga. Whenever I would see him after that he was the same old “salt of the earth” guy. He was the definition of a “gentleman”. Cherish your time with him as you journey through your loss.
Godspeed Dave!
Just hearing of Daves passing.He was s gentleman in every sense of the word. He was a friend of my husband Don Halleran he would phone him often. . sorry i am not there to attend his celebration of life, I have been out of the province ror awhile. condolences to his wife Marcy and family. Also my brother inlaw Bruce who is such a good friend of Daves.Rip Dave..
Dear Marcy . Newfoundland is raining tears for David
One of the most kind , gracious respectful and honest person I have ever had the good fortune of knowing .
Sincerely , Arlene and David Mercer
We are very sad and offer our most sincere condolences
On this loss . We loved David
Dave was a lovely fella, Marcy. May he rest in peace. You’re all in my thoughts at this sad time.
Marcy, sending heartfelt condolences as you mourn this unimaginable loss. Thinking of you and your family with deepest sympathy.
Marcy , I am so sad to hear of David’s passing. You always spoke so lovingly of him. My thoughts are with you at this most difficult time. Love Bernice
Hi Marcy,
I was shocked & so very sad to hear of David’s passing. You must be heartbroken. I was fortunate to have met David at the Delta & blessed to have had him as a part of my life. He was a wonderful person & a pleasure to be around. Sincerest sympathies to you & family.
Marcy, sincere condolences and sympathy on David’s passing. I first met him at Bally Haly way back in 1974 and whenever I would see him years later I was amazed at how much he was still that polite, charismatic, full of energy guy that I met as a young kid.Sometimes we would still joke about how was the first guy to have a “floater ball” for the old water hole at Bally Haly. So sad to hear this news. A great guy gone way too soon. Bob D
Dear Marcy,
My heartfelt sympathy to you on the sudden passing of David. I always enjoyed seeing David when Mom and I would visit Alison. He was always the gentleman and always had a funny story to tell. He was a devoted son to his parents and a wonderful husband. A life well lived by the many friends he made over his lifetime and the acts of kindness he did for others will not be forgotten.
Marcy so shocked to hear the sad news.A remarkable life of kindness.a heart breaking loss.Tony
I am very sad to hear about David’s passing. I only knew him casually from the gym but he had such an inviting and genuine personality I always enjoyed our interactions. My condolences to his family and friends.
Marcy,
So sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. I knew Dave from 35 years ago from our many conversations outside our backyard when he was running through Larch Place park on his daily runs.. We would mostly talk baseball but would also delve into other topics.
Dave was a “true gentleman”, he was very sincere and caring when he talked of others. A very kind, loving man.
I was hoping to run into Dave on my retirement but I guess that will have to wait for another time.
God Bless Dave!✝️
Brian O’Grady and Family
I am deeply saddened to hear of Dave’s passing.
He was truly one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet—kind, generous, and always a pleasure to be around. Whether on the squash court or simply sharing a conversation, he brought warmth and good humor wherever he went.
I will always remember the epic squash battles between him and Eamon in the Men’s A Finals. Those matches were fiercely competitive, played at an incredibly high level, and were a testament to his skill, determination, and love of the game. Even in competition, he carried himself with the sportsmanship and character that made so many people admire him.
My thoughts are with his family and all who knew and loved him.
Marcy,
I was so saddened to hear of David’s sudden passing. I can’t begin to imagine how difficult his loss is for you. I remember him as a quiet and gentle boy in the neighbourhood who grew into a friendly fellow who always intently listened to your response when he asked you a question. His kindness shone through. Thinking of you and your family and sending a gentle hug.
Marcy… I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I am thinking of you .
Marcy – you, the family and many friends of our beloved Feeds are in our thoughts and prayers today. Dave was an incredible person. Kind, interesting and fun. I will cherish the memories of the countless games of baseball and street hockey we played together. Despite being an only child, Dave had more brothers than anyone I knew. To know him was to love him, to be his friend was a privilege. God bless you Feeds. You made a big difference and will be dearly missed.
David’s parents and mine were close friends in university days. Herb and Alison would often be in my family home at 10 Forest Avenue.
His kindness was legendary.
With best wishes and sympathy
Tia Renouf
Marcy,
I was so saddened to hear of Dave’s sudden passing. and your devastating loss. I had the pleasure and privilege of coaching Dave for just one year in junior baseball and his character was evident from day one. He was a gentle soul who was the epitome of the definition of a gentleman.
He was totally authentic and kind in every respect. It was always a pleasure to share his company, whether for a brief encounter, or for several hours as we did last fall with his fellow teammates from the ’84 Gonzaga Vikings team.
His loss will leave a void in the hearts of all those who crossed paths with him and had the good fortune to be considered his friend.
Noel
I was shocked and saddened to read of Dave’s passing.
I knew Dave for virtually all his life, first from Bally Haly where his dad was a highly respected tournament organizer on the club, provincial and national level?
Our paths next crossed at the Fort William Racque
Club where David shone as one of the best squash players in the province
Finally we were both members at the Works where we would exchange stories about the crows we fed, he on his neighbour’s fence and I on my deck
My condolences to Marcy and Dave’s friends and family
Keith Rose
Our condolences from the Moyes Family. We first moved to Forest Road in 1975. Dave was always a wonderful neighbour and friend as we played (or tried to play, he was always far ahead) many sports in the driveway between his family’s house and the Barrowman’s. Such a sweet man. He will be sorely missed in the Neighbourhood.
Marcy,
We are shocked and saddened to hear of David’s passing. His kind genuine nature and sense of humor will be fondly remembered. He was indeed a gentleman, and we are so grateful to have known him. Keeping you and David in our thoughts, and wishing you comfort and strength in the days ahead.
Marcy,
Words cannot express how sad we were to hear of Dave’s passing. He was so kind and thoughtful and took such good care of my cat onetime that I don’t think she wanted me back when I returned! I hope you have lots of warm memories to get through this difficult time.
Jane Fitzpatrick, Darryl Johnson and family
Marcy,
My deepest condolences on the loss of your dear husband, David.. You will be close in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope the love you shared brings you strength.
Dear Marcy,
There are no words that can truly express how sorry we are for the sudden loss of your beloved David. Our hearts ache for you as you face this unimaginable sorrow. We hope you can find comfort in the countless memories and the deep love that will always remain with you. May you find strength one day at a time, and may the love that surrounded your life together continue to carry you through the difficult days ahead.
I’ll always remember David from our old neighborhood, what a shock to hear about his passing in such a short time after we last spoke, R.I.P. David
To Marcy and all theextended Feder family , we give our sincere condolences. We knew David for almost his entire life as neighbors on Forest 3. We will always remember his kindness.
Catherine and Niall Gogan
So sorry to hear the news of David. We go back a long way. Fly high David…gone way too soon. John
Dear Marcy,
So very sorry to hear of your husband David’s passing. Sending love, hugs and prayers
So very sad to read this morning that David has passed away. I met him and his Mother A;lison while on a trip back to NFLD with my siblings in 2006. We were born and raised in NFLD and expected this to be the final trip back to our ancestral home.
For some years before, I had been researching my Father’s ancestry and was delighted to find a Jewish connection by marriage to Harold Feder’s family. which led me to David and Alison.
I was fortunate enough to meet them both in Alison’s home .before leaving NFLD on that 2006 trip. I had with me at that meeting Alison Kahn’s Book Listen While I tell You, a history of the Jewish families who made their way to NFLD in the early 1900’s. Both David and Alison were kind enough to sign it and add lovely messages. I took a picture of David and Alison that day and when I open the book it is pinned to the page with their messages.
Rest in peace dear David. You have gone too soon. I will always remember you and Alison for the kindness you showed me that day in 2006.
My sincere condolences to Marcy and the Green family.
Ma tres chere amie Marcy
Your amazing David is honoured in the most amazing way. Such beautiful comments on his behalf.
I am sending all the love and support possible.
Marcy words fail me here. David was one gentle Man. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. When Mike passed he was one of the first ones to call me. My deepest condolences, Betty Spearns
Marcy, thoughts and prayers are with you.
I got to know and very much respect Dave in the squash community. He was indeed the gentle man of the courts.
Whether by he’s calm demeanour after a loss or his quiet celebration of a win, Dave epitomized “sportsmanship” as no other could.
He truly was one of a kind and will surely rest in peace.
Dear Marcy,
There are so many things I could say about your dear David. He was uncommonly kind and generous, interested and interesting, incredibly sincere and genuine. And that’s just the beginning. When Dave asked, “How are you?, you knew he really wanted to know. I will miss that. He will be remembered as long as we live.
Sending you so much love, my friend.
Marcy ,
Dave was a wonderfully kind man , always thoughtful and unassuming.. May his memory always be a blessing.

Very sad to hear this news. I have known him since I played squash as a child as far back as the Newfoundland hotel and Delta days. He even taught me in school when he used to substitute teach. My condolences to everyone that knew him, he was genuinely one of the nicest people I knew.

Marcy,
I was both shocked and saddened to learn of your beloved David’s death. My deepest condolences. I know for sure your heart is heavy and broken. Praying for comfort and strength as you navigate your tremendous loss. Much love my friend to you.
Marcy,
I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. I was deeply shocked and saddened to learn of Dave’s passing.
Dave was such an amazing friend to so many people. It was a true pleasure to reconnect with him over the past few years during his many visits with Keith. Keith would always light up when Dave arrived for one of his faithful visits.
I will forever picture Dave sitting on the window ledge in Keith’s room, the two of them discussing the latest sports news and sharing stories. Almost every time I visited Keith, one of my first questions was, “Has Dave been down today?” Their friendship was something special, and Dave’s kindness, loyalty, and presence meant so much.
May you find comfort in the many wonderful memories you shared together and in knowing how deeply Dave was loved and appreciated by those whose lives he touched.

David was the embodiment of kindness, compassion and humility. I feel so very fortunate to have known him. 🩷
Marcy our hearts are breaking for you. So sorry to hear of the loss of your soulmate.

A man amongst men Dave was. The kindest gentleman you could possibly meet. He had a unique way of mastering anything he decided to take part in. Some day he had to leave the island to get a game of squash in real competition. I’ll never forget his good nature. I drove his mother in my taxi and you swear it was Dave talking in the back seat.. I might see you again on the other side Dave. I certainly hope I do.. RIP my good friend
So sorry and shocked. Condolences to Marcy, Family, Relatives and friends. Dave was one of a kind, such a fine person. I’m glad I had a chance to met up and have a that with him a couple of weeks back. He will be missed. Prayers.
A true gentleman. Thank you for the times we shared on court and your invaluable coaching.
Marcy and family, my sincere condolences to you. How blessed you all were to have him.
Sending you love and prayers,
