I was saddened to hear of Diana's passing. I first met Dana through NLTA when he was a branch president years ago. His constant supply of candy to anyone and everyone who wanted one at that meeting certainly won hearts Your tribute to a man taken way to soon speaks volumes of the person he was.
My sincere condolences to all of you.

Callista, on behalf of my wife Alice and me, I want to extend our sincerest condolences on the passing of Dana. As I write this, I am in shock and disbelief, as I only just became aware of his passing.
I only got to know Dana during the final two years of my teaching career when we were both recently elected newbies on the NLTA Provincial Executive (1999-2001).
Life's journey is ultimately about other human beings with whom we come into contact and form some sort of relationship and those relationships are somewhat like a series of concentric circles. Obviously, at the centre would be our immediate family, generally consisting of our parents, siblings and extended family. The next ring might be close friends and/or colleagues but somewhere near the center is a ring of acquaintances with whom you have had limited contact and interaction but who stand out in terms of quality and character and who leave an indelible mark on you!
Dana was in that meaningful orbit for me.
The more I read his beautiful obituary, the more I became aware why we clicked and why I liked, appreciated and admired him. We shared so much in common, except for the part where it said he played his accordion!
He definitely was a friendly, respectful, engaging and uplifting individual. More importantly, he was a man of strong character and moral conviction, very appreciative of all that he had but concerned about the state and status of others.
Callista, it goes without saying that he will not be forgotten by you, his children and all those others in his family, his friends and colleagues but, given the full and bountiful legacy described in his obit, Dana will not be forgotten by so many others whose lives he touched in so many ways.
Please pass on our heartfelt condolences to all your family.

To all who wrote such sincere and heart-warming messages here and shared your part in Dana's story....thank you. As well, our family thanks all those who connected with us by various other means, extended a kind gesture, lent a hand, made donations to charities in Dana's honor. The support we experienced through the past almost four years helped Dana and our family members cope with the challenges of illness and its effects on our lives. Our family will forever miss Dana's physical presence but we will savour his unconditional love, attention and care, his level-headedness, his genuine hospitality, his breath of knowledge, his sense of humor, his compassion, his ability to make connections with everyone he knew/met. I feel sure that our dear Dana/Dad will continue to guide and nurture us as we carry him in our hearts and heads forever. ❤

My deepest condolences on Dana's passing. I knew him from his time at MUN, when he was my brother's roommate at Burton's Pond Apts (probably late 70's)...it's been a long-standing, if at times, interrupted friendship with a shared love of teaching, especially in French. He was a wonderful, thoughtful man who had a great work ethic, dedication to his students & profession, deep sense of family and a pensive nature. He did have a dry and at times, corny sense of humour but it endeared him to many who appreciated this sense of humour.
I'm sure it will leave a gaping hole in your family, without it's patriarch & sober second thought...I trust that wonderful, cherished memories will keep him forever close & alive in your hearts.
My husband, Mario & I send our sympathies at this most challenging time.

Today we bid a fond farewell to a great friend and a true ambassador to the country of Newfoundland and Labrador, Dana Burridge. Many may remember Dana as a loving and caring teacher, but we knew him as a truly professional tour guide and a vessal of information, history, culture and humour. Dana shared his passion for Newfoundland, through his life, friends, and family. His stories were authenticated by each of the magnificent coastal communities we visit with McCarthy’s Party Tours. We loved our time with Dana and will remember his sincerity, his passion, his person. Each and every time we visit the west coast, we will be reminded of him especially as we tell the story of Burridge’s Gulch in Gros More Park. God speed sir, God speed!
Callista and family, we were proud to know him and sad to lose him.

It was with sadness that I heard of Dana’s passing. Although we never got to spend time together often each time was a special experience. I mainly worked with Dana in the field of French but our families did connect a few times. I remember Dana as dedicated to his work, his community but mostly to his family. I sat in the room during his first group presentation in St. Pierre. It should not surprise anyone that his topic was his family. Although nervous and hesitant he left us all laughing and appreciating his love of family. I am grateful to have been able to count Dana as a friend. An old African greeting is, “Endo nombite”. It means that as I go I will be wearing you. In other words everyone we ever meet has then become part of our journey for eternity. I will continue to think of Dana often and will feel the warmth of his friendship and humour around me. I am convinced that no one ever moves very far away. They stay close, send messages and touch us in surprising ways. I know that his immeasurable love for Callista, children and his whole family will keep him very close and bring you smiles, memories and stories. My thoughts are with you all at this time.

Our son, Steven always enjoyed Dana's classes and felt a real connection with him. As a teacher himself now, he often recalls his days in Mr. Burridge's classes with fond memories. In all of our dealings with Dana, he was a genuine caring teacher who was never too busy to go the extra mile. His smiling face will be remembered by all who came in contact with him.
May your wonderful family memories help you through this difficult time.

We were saddened to hear of Dana’s passing. Not only was he a great teacher, but he was a great mentor to other teachers - he helped me lots in my early years at Pasadena Academy and I enjoyed carpooling with him to work!

Our family shared lots of good times with Dana, Callista and their beautiful children. Thank heavens for the comfort of good memories. Dana will be remembered as fun loving, with a passion and pride for his Newfoundland. If you thought Cape Bretoner's were staunch in their love for their island then you didn't meet Dana!! Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy to Callista, Danielle, Jeremy, Grant, Amy and Katelyn. From Laureen, George, Patrice, Alison, Kaitlyn, Robert and Collette. Fond memories of Dana will remain in our hearts.

Mr. Burridge was my most cherished teacher. I was honoured to have him as a math and French teacher in junior high and as Pasadena Academy's first Global Issue's teacher. He inspired me to great heights and his enthusiasm always encouraged me to reach higher. I hope he is playing an accordion up in heaven with my dad accompanying on piano. Much love to your entire family.

To the Burridge Family
Our condolences on the passing of Dana.
Both Wayne & I went to school with Dana and we were always amused with his humour.
Wayne always joked that class could start once Dana arrived. Although the years did not provide staying in touch, since life took us in a different direction, we have many fond memories.
May God uphold you in your grief.
We will be praying for your family.

Thank you
For impacting my life at such a young age. I will never forget sitting in your grade four class at high street elementary. You were trying to drill FRENCH into a stubborn George Mckay offspring whom was and must been the toughest challenge that year. Lol your immense personality, dry jokes and the year I spent in grade four are some of my strongest childhood memories. Even today at 43 I still bring it up with my own children. I am sure my pencil case was not the first one thrown across the class at you. Lol yes I was spiteful. Rest In Peace to a precious memory and an amazing teacher may your humor live on for decades.
To the Burriage family sorry for your lost such an amazing person full circle. Always loved forever cherished and now an angel.
Love tonya

Sending deepest condolences to the entire family. Dana had a profound effect on all that he taught over the years. In addition, he always stood strong for educators through his many years of service to the NTA and later NLTA. I always enjoyed running into Dana, because I always knew a debate would ensue and he always did his best to win those debates. God Bless all of you during your time of loss, and rest assured the months and years ahead will be filled with good memories of Dana.
