Condolences for the family of “WINTERS: Dana”
Stacie – my sincere condolences on your loss. Someone that you loved as much as your father is never lost. I know the lessons he taught you will be reflected in the memories you create with your children. Thoughts are with you.
Stacey sorry for the loss of your dad. Kelly
Dana was not just a Brother he was Best Friend a confidant and a sounding board for some of my thoughts. We text each other early in the morning to see what the other one was up to that day we did this for the last 12 years at least. Growing up I was blamed for pouring hot water in to his rubber boot while his foot was still in the boot but I apologized just lately but told him I didn’t think I had done it which he didn’t believe. One last time brother i love ya. Till we meet again Vaya Con Dios. I will miss our text and Talks
Dana was our neighbour for the last few years. He never missed an opportunity to spoil our children with holiday treats either in the mailbox for them to find after School or on the doorstep after being away. He was a kind and gentle man who enriched our lives with his genuine interest in our lives and his willingness to take time to have those neighbourly moments. He will be dearly missed here. Our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends from the Mabon family (Mike,Veronica, Olivia and Rachel.
Stacie, deepest sympathies on the loss of your dad and best friend and condolences to rest the of your family.

Several years ago ,three of us, Dana,Barry& I ( Keith) flew west to visit our oldest brother Roger.We brought home so many memories .I laugh still today.Those memories will keep them alive in my heart.Dana will be missed by all, who knew and loved him.💕
Hello Stacie and Rob: I was very shocked to see your dad had passed away Stacie, I didn’t know he was ill. We send our sincere condolences to you and your family. We loved having your dad and mom live beside us, they were wonderful neighbours. We sure miss them,. They were a great couple, and we enjoyed playing cards together. We sort of lost track of your dad when he sold his house and moved to the country, but received a Christmas card from him every year. I know Gail well as she worked at the hospital and she used to babysit for friends of ours before she married Allan Chrysler. We used to talk to your dad when he went for walks on the boardwalk as he walked up Elgin Ave. and home.
Your dad is with your mom and your sister and all are resting in peace.
Take care.
John and Linda MacDonald

Our deepest condolences to Stacey and Family. We were sad to hear of Dana’s passing. He was such a kind and caring man! We loved seeing him whenever they came out to Alberta to see Roger. He was always so thoughtful and kept in touch with our family after Roger and then Lydia passed. We thought of him often (and Ellie as well) and they will continue to be in our hearts. Sincerely, Brian and Leslie Winters ( from the Alberta family)
