Dave will also be missed by his numerous nieces and nephews, his many friends and business colleagues.
Dave was a kind man who believed strongly in his community and his faith. He was a talented vocalist, singing Barbershop and soloing at many events and occasions. He was an accomplished sailor, avid golfer, and enjoyed hockey, mountain biking, hiking and making maple syrup from his sugar bush.
Dave was a pioneer in real estate and land development, who along with partners, established Parkbridge and grew the company to become the largest of its kind in Canada, forever altering Wasaga Beach and many other communities across the country. In his latest endeavor, he continued the success with Maple Leaf Marinas, growing it into a thriving business while providing him the opportunity to marry many of his favorite pastimes. Above all, he cherished his family and the moments they shared at the farm and the cottage. He will be deeply missed.
