— Cathleen McDonald, April 26, 2025Dear Nancy,
We are so sorry for your loss. We will miss Dave greatly! Christmas dinners and summer BBQ's won't be the same. There were so many laughs over the years, one of the best was the "gravy " incident when you guys lived in Richmond Hill. We so appreciate how great he was with Tyler especially , and as the unofficial Uncle to both our kids. Whether it was a music CD that he remembered me talking about or finding our favourite Christmas picture that proudly hangs in our den now, he always made a person feel special.
We are thinking of you and all the Jellicoe family that will miss him ,
Sincerely Cindy and Steve, Cortney and Justin and Tyler
The Cook and Skrypetz family
