Dear Jan
Our hearts are breaking for you and Dave’s loved ones.
Yet again, we find no words that could possibly comfort you. We will keep you close in thought.

At first, I loved Dave because he loved my best friend. Then as the years passed, I loved him because he was such a good person. I will never be able to see a Bald Eagle, nor a Stellar's Jay without thinking about Dave. I will miss his dry humour, and I will grieve his passing, but I will always be grateful for having known him. You have earned the right to soar with the eagles, Dave.....safe journey.

Our sincerest sympathies to Jan and the entire family. As the eldest cousin of the Hobbs clan, Dave was looked up to and admired for his calm and cool demeanour, his quiet wisdom and the Patriarch of the cousin clan.
Dave will be missed and remembered forever.
It is with shock, disbelief and great sadness that I say fair well to my brother David. To say the least, fate delt Dave an unfair hand ! The saying must be true, "Only the good die young"
I say thankyou to David for all he was and all he did for so many, his heart was kind. He was always there to lend a hand if he could and that was often. Never wanting or expecting anything in return.
Thankyou Dave for a great 70 years, I'm glad you and Jan found each other and I'm proud to say that you were my brother.
I will miss you greatly !
I am so sad to hear the news.
Thank you for making Aunt Jan laugh like no one else could.
I will miss your dry humour, and can I just say? I ALWAYS got a KICK out of how you would stand up to and bicker with Aunt Jan <3 You loved her SO much, but would ALWAYS hold stern to your beliefs... you were a sweet, loving, gentle, kind man with a surprising strength and tenacity.
You were loved and you will be missed. When the leafs win the cup, I will cheer louder just for you.... you took me to my very first Leafs game after all!
Sweet dreams. Life just isn't fair sometimes!
Love Jewel Black
PS. Bet the vino in heaven tastes GREAT, save a glass for when I get there. 🖤
