To the Shelkey Family, While we know Debbie’s Family & Stuart’s Family & Leslie better than we knew your dad & grandfather, we did enjoy the few years we sang w/ both your parents in the TUMC choir. It’s been 2 months since Mr. Dave passed and while the world has kept on spinning and there have been other joyous births and sad deaths, we just wanted you to know that we still remember with you and pray you have indeed gathered peace to fill the void he left in your hearts, to guide your lives and reside alongside the love you had for him that will always remain. Take Care Dear Friends – Deb & Andy D.

Ted and Family We are sorry to learn of your Dad’s passing. What a wonderful life he lived and he made so many contributions. We especially enjoy Caledon State Park and remember how your parents volunteered there before it achieved State Park status. With appreciation for your Dad’s life, Gail and Joe

Dear ones.; There are so many things you must be feeling, today. I trust that what you feel most is loved, remembered and held close in many hearts because you are. This quote sums up my remembrance of Dave. “Kind hearts are the gardens; kind thoughts are the roots; kind words are the blossoms; kind deeds are the fruit.” You have witnessed that in Dave’s life. He (I am sure) has passed the torch on to you all to follow in his steps and be guided by God. Prayers for strength, peace and joy are coming your way.
