My deepest sympathy to each of you on Dave’s passing. In my brief time spent with you all, I can easily hear the infectious laughter that was fuelled by love in the Rader home. He had a keen sense of humour that was appreciated by all. Dave had a sharp wit and a kindness about him that everyone in Dashwood admired. Look after yourselves and each other and I hope that time will heal the pain that you are feeling right now. May his memory be a blessing to you and your lovely family. Sincerely Holly Horton

Julian Bayley
Nancy,Stacey, Derick and Stephanie – so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. Sincere condolences from the Bayley family and the Iceculture team where Dave did so much work when the company established itself in Hensall. I have fond memories of the times Nancy and Dave dropped into our home in Southcott Pines (again,
another Dave Rader improvement project) armed with Caesar mix and all the trimmings, and our long weekend visit to Ann’s family cottage in Quebec.I also remember the pre-Christmas get- togethers we had at your home in Dashwood. Dave Rader Construction is a very familiar name with us. Dave also made major modifications to my home on Lake Huron helped by his father. Derick continued the Rader tradition and built the extension to our Hensall facilty. Dave has gone now, but his memory will remain, forever. RIP.
