On the morning of October 18, 2022, David left us to re-unite with his beloved Betty who predeceased him in 2020.
David was born March 7, 1937 in Oxford and resided in Whitney England.
He immigrated to Canada in 1957 at the age of 20 and resided with his aunt Dorothy in River Heights until he established enough to get out on his own. She was his favorite aunt and they remained close until her passing. He spoke fondly of her often.
Eventually David met the love of his life Betty, who helped in convincing him there was no better place to be than Winnipeg. Together they celebrated 48 years and had enormous fun and adventuress big and small. He missed her so!
David retired from Land Titles in 1999.
Predeceased by his parents Rowland and Mabel of Whitney, England and his much loved sister Ann whom he dearly missed, also of Whitney, England.
David leaves to mourn his passing; his step-son Clive Williams (Pauline) of Winnipeg, brother-in-law Keith Jones of Whitney, England, sisters-in-law, Gwen and Lynn of Northern Wales, his much loved niece Helen Pomroy (Martin) and great niece Soffie all of Yarnton, England, his much loved nephew Richard Jones (Dita) with great nieces; Emma, Maja, Leila and great nephew Luka all of Northern Ireland. He thought the world of you all.
