David was known for his love of music, devoting much of his time to playing bass guitar. He played for many years with the well-known band, the Humber Road Greasers, whose members will greatly miss him. David was also passionate about our province and spent many summers camping and exploring every nook and cranny of the island with his wife, daughters, and grandchildren.
