David was 5 years older than me
We grew up together in Kensington Ave
I always looked up to him as a big brother
He used to wear a possum hat thing that was made popular with the hit song of the time Davy king of the wild frontier

Shirley, our deepest condolences to you, and both your immediate and extended family. I went through CBHS with David, and saw David's immense rugby talent, and you knew Sue through the children. Sad news, but wishing you and yours a return to better days ahead.
