    It is with Great Sadness we say Goodbye to Dave! We remember him as a sweet, gentle, kind, caring gentleman. Dave had the heart that was so giving to his community and the large circle of senior’s that he called his friends. Dave was always willing to give a helping hand when ever needed! We will miss his charming little laugh and his little visits he had with us after the diners! The community of South Mountain has lost a gentle soul! Thinking of Susan and Family! Our very sincere condolences!

    Susan we send our sympathies to you and your family at the loss of your brother. He always had a smile and a friendly hello whenever we met. My Mom would always mention seeing him when she would be at the South Mountain diners group and at the monthly seniors pot luck dinners. The last two years sure have seen a lot of changes in our community. Our thoughts are with you.

    Oh, how the Friends of the Library will miss Dave! He was always there for our meetings, ready to extend a helping hand. In his quiet, self-effacing way, he did his all to support our programming and fundraising efforts. He was a true community-builder!

    I met Dave through our Friends of the South Mountain Library. What a kind and friendly man he was . So eager to be part of this group and lend his hand in so many ways , be it his fabulous historical collection of all things South Mountain, support both physically and emotionally and yes, his infectious and joyful laughter. He is to be admired and remembered as a human we all should aspire to.

    My sincerest condolences to Dave’s family. I used to know Dave when he and I worked in Environment Canada many years ago. In fact, I used to carpool with him. Looking at the preceding remembrances from those who knew him more recently, Dave had not changed much at all. He was the same kind, gentle, helpful and caring person, and he always had a smile. Learning of his passing has brought back many pleasant memories. He is someone who will be missed.

    I knew the Scharf family since the 1960s .I got to know Dave well over the
    last few decades from regular lodge meetings. I was sorry to miss the IOOF
    Service. I will miss our conversations as Ottawa Senators fans.

    Sue, I was so sorry to hear of Dave’s death. I guess somehow I just thought we would all live forever…
    I’m reminded of all the times Dave and his trusty truck helped me move from one place to another, when we were both much younger. He was a kind and thoughtful friend for many years. I think of him fondly.

    I hope you’re well. Take care and stay safe,

    I lived with Dave when he went to Carleton University in the late 60’s and reconnected with him about five years ago. I will never forget his laugh and gentle way. My sincere condolences to his family and close friends in the loss of this wonderful man.
