SALM: David
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of David “Dave” Salm on August 30, 2024. Born on July 27, 1953, Dave was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend who touched the lives of many with his kindness and generosity.
Dave was predeceased by his loving wife, Marie; his parents, Leo and Ethel Salm; his sister Joanne; and his brothers, Mike and Gerald. He is survived by his cherished children, Marcia Bakelaar (Steve), Mark Salm (Magdalena), and Crystal Salm (Tom). Dave also leaves behind his dear brother, George (Loretta), his sister, Pearl, and his brother Bruce. He was a proud grandfather to Kyle and Kiersten Bakelaar, who will miss him dearly, along with a host of extended family and friends.
Dave’s legacy of love, laughter, and dedication to his family will always be remembered. His passion for antique toys and talent for creating beautiful pieces of furniture found him at the Aberfoyle Antique Market every Sunday. His warmth and spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
A visitation will be held on Friday, September 6, 2024, at 11:00, followed by the funeral service at 12:00 at McCallum & Palla Funeral Home in Goderich, Ontario

 In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in Dave’s memory.

Condolence from Joan mathieu on September 4th, 2024 7:29 PM

I just spoke to your dad a few weeks ago at Aberfoyle Market.
A lovely man and I always enjoyed Marie in past years.
My parents had the farm across from their place and he was just
telling me how much his daughter liked to ride horses with my dad.
So sorry for your loss and we will miss seeing him.

Condolence from John Cookman on September 5th, 2024 10:18 PM

Very sorry to hear of your loss. Part of the enjoyment of going to the Aberfoyle market was a short chat or even just a hello waive to vendors such as Mr. Salm who would always warmly greet you.

Condolence from Robert Turliuk on September 30th, 2024 10:17 PM

Miss Crystal- I was shocked to hear of your father’s recent untimely passing- directly related to an event beyond his control. Although I have never met him- I’m sure that he and your mother would have been very proud of you, your sister and brother comforted him in his time of need. My prayers to you and your family.
Dr. T.

I was so saddened today to hear of Dave’s passing. My condolences to his Family from ours. I knew Dave in construction collecting for some 50 years. A truly good person and family man.
