They spent most of their married life in Sullivan. David had been retired for 22 years after 47 years of service at CAE Machinery. Dad liked to go hunting and salmon fishing, but his favourite pastimes were bowling and working with the machinery in his basement. <br /> <br /> In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in David&rsquo;s name, to the BC Lung Association, 2675 Oak Street, Vancouver or to the charity of your choice. </p> </div>
