The family moved to Teeswater Ontario when Dave was 6 where he attended public school. The family moved to Newmarket in 1957 where Dave attended Newmarket High. While in High School Dave obtained various certificates with Canadian Red Cross and Royal Life Saving Society of England. This led to a position as a lifeguard with the Provincial Government at Wasaga Beach for 5 seasons.
Dave was employed by CIBC for 28 years in various branch and Head Office positions. While with the Bank he became a Fellow of the Institute of Canadian Bankers and became interested in financial planning.

Dave was always active in the communities he lived in, holding Executive positions with North Durham Unit of Canadian Cancer Society, South Lake Simcoe District Boy Scouts of Canada, Beaverton Horticultural Society, Cannington Lawn Bowling Club and various Business Associations.
In his working years Dave enjoyed tennis, downhill skiing and curling. He enjoyed many foreign vacations but found his “place in the sun” in Aruba where he spent a few months each year with Barbara in retirement enjoying meeting many new friends, swimming, snorkeling and walking the beaches barefoot.
