Many condolences to family and many friends.
Dave was not only our tuner but a loyal and faithful friend. I will miss him very much.

So very sorry to hear this sad news. Dave used to visit our family a lot years ago. Always charming and friendly.

Sad to hear of Dave’s passing a huge loss to the community

We are both so shocked and saddened to hear of Dave’s sudden and unexpected passing. May his gentle soul Rest In peace. He was a wonderful musician and friend.

As a client and friend , I am so shocked and saddened by this news. My condolences to David’s family.

My deepest heartfelt sympathy upon hearing of David’s sudden passing.
His immense talent and passion in performing, teaching and tuning the piano will be forever missed, as well as singing, playing the guitar, playing the harp and then the building of beautiful harps.
He will be so missed. What an honor to have known David. Reunited at last with his dear parents.

It was with great sadness that I learned of David’s passing. We met, spoke and texted often, and we had much in common. He will certainly be missed by all he knew in the community. Rest in Peace, dear friend.

My grandparents Ray & Betty Fisher were good friends with William & Barbara. I remember watching a parade from their house

David was my favourite piano teacher. We bonded over our love of the Beatles. He taught me how to play a number of songs from a Beatles songbook my mother bought me, Paperback Writer.

Rock on my friend!

So very sad to see that Dave has died. He was a gentle and kind man and he’s going to be missed by so many people.
My deepest condolences to Peter, Karen and family.

I had just left a message for Dave to come tune my piano. He will definitely be missed. I will miss his conversations when he was tuning my piano. Often I had to go outside and sit on the porch so that he would continue to do the job! Goderich will miss Dave. God Bless

Dear Dave
I met you in 1982 when I was 18 and you were 22. For decades you were my best friend who stuck closer than a brother. And even though we walked separate paths in recent years the time we saw each other it was like no time at all had passed. Looking back over my chat history I realized I may have been the last person you spoke to just kidding around like old times.We never said goodbye so I won’t say it now. See you in paradise my friend.
Paul.

David spent many hours at our home in Wingham working with my husband who was also a piano technician.
He had a great sense of humour and amused my children endlessly with his wonderful art work – especially cars!
So very sorry for your loss. All my sympathy

My heart is broken that we have lost such a compassionate and caring man filled with so much talent! You truly will be missed! RIP David💕

Our sincere condolences to all the family & friends. Such a great musician & piano tuner. He will be sadly missed in our community.

So sorry for your loss, may David RIP

We were looking forward to seeing David, last week. It wasn’t like him to not show up. Now, so sadly, I understand why. He did fine work, in all respects, and we will miss him. On his way out the door last time, he sat down at the Hammond B3, unprompted, adjusted the drawbars, and launched into A Whiter Shade of Pale. As I was about to compliment him, he surprised me even further by bursting into the vocal. Of course. And that’s how I will remember him.

So sorry to hear of David’s passing. Condolences to his family. I remember his admiration for Chuck Berry’s music. RIP

Peter and family, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of David . I’m sure he will be missed dearly ! Hugs and condolences to all ❤️

Dear Peter. Karen & family; My sincere condolences on Dave’s passing. I am so happy he got to spend time with Carl & I on Manitoulin the week before leaving us.
Now they have both been called home so we must go on alone. It is as if part of your heart went with them. Keep all your memories of happier times close to comfort you. Love Mary

Always a joy meeting David on the street and a beautiful time spent sharing music when he’d come over to “tune” the piano. Yes, the tuning would eventually get done after he’d share a song he’d been working on to our delight. Lovely guy. Thanks for the memories and personal touch to your craft. We will miss you.

We have recently been chatting as my piano insides are currently in the shop. Hopefully I can get it back and when I play our piano I’ll always think of him.

It is with great sadness that we have heard the passing of Dave. He was a great friend and neighbour. I am so happy that we had the chance to see him when we were back in Goderich this summer and had dinner with him. He is going to be very well missed.

Lynda and I are so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. I first got to know Dave many years ago when he drove to Nova Scotia to play for a wedding. We always enjoyed doing music together when it was possible, We had planned on a lunch together the next time he came to Kitchener for a piano turning.

I will always remember Dave as a very humble and kind friend; never boasted about his talents, though they were many and never had a harsh word to say about anyone.

We will miss Dave in the meantime, but we take comfort in knowing that he is ‘sleeping’ and in God’s memory for now, and soon will ‘awaken’ to live on a cleansed new earth with much better health.

A life long neighbour and friend, childhood memories of Thursdays after school spent with David learning the piano, very talented and kind man
Rest in peace David

We are so grateful we had moment to share music and laughter together with Dave and friends just a few months ago. So sad that he is gone. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Sorry for your loss.

I am very saddened to see this. I am a cousin – my Mother Phyllis Hudson was a first cousin of David and Peter’s father. I had made acquaintance with David on Facebook, and we met once, when he came and tuned our piano.
He touched my life with how much we had in common – music, love of art, and we chatted a few times.
God bless the family with peace and comfort! 🌹

Condolences to Peter and Karen.
I will remember David for his love of music. He could easily rhyme off albums of all kinds of music….be it Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash or Classical !
…..as well as his drawings and paintings!
Rest in Peace David

David was my piano tuner, a talented artist, but also a friend. I will miss our chats, music, and drawing. He was a gentle soul. Condolences to David’s family and friends.

We are so sorry to hear about David. He has been our piano tuner for at least 32 years (according to the cards he left inside our piano). We always had such good chats and visits when he was at our place. The tuning often turned into a full afternoon of stories and music. He always asked about our daughters and their pursuit of music. He will be missed. Our deepest sympathies.

Dave had just stopped in a couple weeks before his passing since he was in the neighbourhood to chat. We talked about how times have changed since we were younger and what the future would bring. Never thought it would change so fast. Our deepest condolences Peter and Karen from your cousins George and Kim

Peter, Karen & family:

We are very sorry to hear of Dave’s recent passing. He was a man of many talents and so musically gifted. I fondly remember him as a young man riding his bicycle from Goderich to Meaford to stay with my grandmother – his Aunt Agnes – for a few days in the summers. He was also a devoted son who supported his parents in their senior years. Cherish the memories. Sending our love. Carla, Allan and family

David and I are so very sorry for the loss of your brother. Although the pain is so hard right now we know the time will come when our enemy death will be no more.
Please know we will be thinking of you all at this time. David and Donna Menzies

I am so sorry to hear about David’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and all other affected. May David Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory.

David was a nice man. gone too soon.

Sorry to hear of David’s passing.

RIP

I’m a month late, and just checked on Dave’s profile since he hadn’t been on FB for a while. Dave worked with my cousin Mike, who was part of our piano repairing and tuning family. We often crossed paths with Dave when setting up for concerts in the area. He always had a story to tell. A highlight for Dave that we were part of was when his mom sang and his dad enjoyed from the audience of the seniors’ concert at the high school a few years back. We will miss seeing him, and our condolences to Dave’s family and his musical family as well. He was a very talented man, creating and sharing music. Rest well Dave! You’ve earned it.
