lengthy illness.
David was born in Riverside-Albert on November 2nd, 1949

Betts.
He worked as a Mechanic for NB Tel and one of his last jobs
was working on the generators at the cell towers before his
retirement. He enjoyed being outdoors; fishing and hunting,
even getting in on the last hunting season this past
Saturday. David was small in stature but had a huge
heart. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone who
needed help. He enjoyed getting together and spending time
with his friends. He would want everyone
to remember the good times they shared and all the laughs.
His girls were his pride and joy and he would want them to know how
much he loved them and their families. They had a very
special place in his heart.
His girls were the biggest achievement in
his life and as he would say the best thing that ever happened to him.
Through life’s struggles he did the best he could,
may fond memories cling. “See you in
the spring”.
He will be missed by his daughters, Jana Danahy (Eric) of
Lethbridge,NFLD and Jessica Dorey (Joshua) of Hillsborough; his
grandchildren, Katelin (Danny), Kurtis, Emma, Ava, Ezra, and Luca; and

mother of his children, Elizabeth Collins; several nieces, nephews,
cousins and friends. Especially by his close friend Alan Murray who
was his chauffeur and hunting buddy the past few
years.
