Condolence From: Bill Bosward
Condolence: To Dave's family, I've just learned of his passing now, 5 years later and wanted to express my deepest sympathy and condolances.
Dave and I were in the same recruit class at Police College in Aylmer in 1982, Dave from Thunder Bay and I from Toronto. I collected police patches at the time and got my TB patch from Dave of course. Dave was a great guy, funny and steady as a rock. He was well liked and respected by the other students and the teaching staff. He was tight with our main instructor, Sgt Brock Frankland who was a Toronto Police Officer and I know Dave stayed in touch with Brock many years after we finished recruit training.
Very sad to find this untimely passing of Dave. RIP buddy!

Condolence: David was one of my best friends growing up. I could not have asked for a better best friend. We had a lot of fun growing up in Current River.
We lost touch for a while after I moved away to go to school and to work but I always enjoyed seeing him and getting updates on his most current adventure. I had the good fortune to reconnect with him after he started working at the Courthouse. It is interesting that I went into law and he went into law enforcement. Maybe us growing up together had something to do with that.
I will miss David and always have fond memories of him. He obviously impacted many other peoples' lives as well given how many people were at the funeral. I was lucky to know him.
Best regards,
Chris Hacio

Condolence From: Malcolm Young
Condolence: I met Dave in the later part of his career when he was the RSM of the LSSR and later Brigade SM.
CWO Coffee was a man of strong convictions and personality. I believe that he set the tone for future Brigade SMs as true partners within the Command Team. I know that he lobbied hard for the troops of the Brigade.
He will not be forgotten. Please pass on my condolences to Dave's family and to the Regiment.

Condolence: I had the chance to work with Dave closely when he was the 38 Brigade sergeant-major. He had a fantastic sense of humour; a mastery of his job; a strong sense of duty; and was an all-round good person to work with. I will miss him. Good shooting, Dave.
