I was sorry to read about the death of your dear loved one. When we lose someone in death it is a sad experience. But the Bible says “all those in the memorial tomb will hear Jesus voice and come out..”-John 5:28,29. The Bible tells us that we die because of the sin of Adam, but since Jehovah God is “source of life” he will give life back to those who have die.-Romans 5:12;Isaiah 61:2. In paradise on earth soon “death will be no more.”-Revelation 21:4
I am so grateful that I met David and we became fast friends. We shared stories, laughed together (especially with his sense of humor). I will miss Davie and treasure the good times we had together.
Love and condolences to Morag, David, Andrew, Kennith and the grandchildren
Morag,

So sorry Morag, David, Andrew, Kenneth and families.

Morag, I was so sorry to learn of David’s passing. Please take care of yourself and your family.

To the Poustie Family.
So sad learn of Davie’s passing. I always asked after him when I’d run into Andrew. So it was with heavy heart when he told me of his Dad’s passing last week.
Good thoughts and prayers for all of you. Rest well, Davie
Sorry to hear of Dave’s passing… Condolences to his family…

Morag & family;
So very sorry to hear of Davie’s passing. He will be greatly missed by all his family and friends. Thinking of you and your entire family.
Murray and I were very saddened to hear of your Dad’s passing, Dave. He was much too young. I guess God has a plan for him. We send our Deepest Sympathy to all your family. Please know that we will keep all of you in our prayers. Judy and Murray Hunter
Today I join with so many others who knew Davey in offering our deepest sympathy on his passing. Although it is little consolation at this sad time, it should be of some satisfaction to know that in his passing you can celebrate the end of a very long and productive life.
The measure of a life well-lived is not in how much money one has or what possessions they have accumulated, but rather through the lives they touched and the sorrow they leave behind.
May you find peace and comfort in knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him.
In Sympathy,
Andrea Jaques
It was very sad news to hear of Dave’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.
Both Anita and myself are sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. We shared some very good times together at ERCO. Stories that will last a lifetime. With his sense of humour and joking around made work life that much more enjoyable. He was “a character”. He will be sadly missed by all those who knew him.

To the Family: I am very sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. I had the privelige of working with him at ERCO when he supported many of our projects in Northern Ontario. His wit, wisdom, dry sense of humor and his hilarious impressions make me smile to this day. He will be sorely missed.

So very, very sorry….Sincere condolences to Morag and family….
First met Dave in a soccer game in Milton, must have been in the mid 1970’s… when he first moved to Oakville…Had many more games after that!!! Brilliant player!!! Some years later, we met again while I was working with Petro Canada and Dave was working with a contractor. A really great guy!!!
Gone way too soon…
Tony
Sorry to hear of Davie’s passing Morag. and Boys Great player Great man
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about David’s death. Meeting David though it was for all to of a short time, one could tell he was a man of honor, his family was his greatest joy. David will be remembered always. For his love and caring ways.
May the comfort
of family and friends
give you strength
for today
and the days to come.
Andrew,
My condolences on your dad’s passing. I happened to see the ad in the paper and was shocked to see him lost at such a young age.
Our thoughts are with you and your family.
Regards,
Aaron.
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end
He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was “the dash” between those years
For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not how much we own;
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard.
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what’s true and real
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy is being read
With your life’s actions to rehash
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash”
Morag and Family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Andrew and family,
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
With sympathy,
Mike Bartlett
Andrew & Family,

To Morag & family

To Morag and Family:
I was sorry to hear about David’s passing when I initially read The Lennox Herald. I went to school with David at Knoxland and Dumbarton Academy and always remember him as a lovely person.
I also worked with your sister, Margaret, in the Stock Department of Hiram Walker’s High Street office.
Thinking of you all at this time.
Linda
Hi Morag. I have just heard the sad news about David.
You and David were very good friends to me when David and I worked together at Yarrows in the 1970’s. He had a great sense of humour and was one of the finest football players I have ever played with.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
Dad. Having a bad day here, and missing you terribly. Wish you were still here so I could throw ideas off of you. I don’t think I realized how many times a day/week/month I’d do that. Anyway, no one is reading these any more so it’s a good spot to throw a few words down meant for you. Miss you terribly and if you get a chance between scoring the winner for Scotland and whatever else you are up to where you are now, throw a sign my way.
oh, and one other thing, for all your flaws you very never a boring bastard 😉
Never forgotten. Missed as much now as ever.
Miss you
Miss you
And you didn?t think anyone would visit did you David Jr! For some reason on my file today the Poustie family entered my brain and I started to wonder how long its been since Mr. Poustie had passed thinking it had only been a handful of years. Time sure does fly!! I?ve always felt bad for losing touch to the point where I didn?t find out about your Dad until several months, if not years after the fact that he had passed away. I blamed Scotty (who still should have told me) but the reality is we really should have kept in touch better so i would have known on my own! Anyway, your Dad was a great guy! I only have a few memories but they are very vivid and were always full of laughs! I?m sure your Dad is floating around you and your brothers often. My Dad shows up as a Robin. Yes the bird. I am always surrounded by Robins, especially when I go running. After pointing this out to my son he notices them all the time too now and says “There?s Grandpa!” Its weird I know but just feels that way! Hopefully you get your sign from time to time and hopefully we meet up before you read this which looks like it could be in 2024! SK
