He was a Director of the Windsor Municipal Employees Credit Union for 29 years. He was a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces and served in the 2nd World War, being schooled in the mechanical trade which led to him becoming a foreman for the City of Windsor until his retirement. Dave was an active parishioner of St. Joseph the Worker Parish, participating as a lay reader, usher, a member of St. Vincent de Paul Society, an on-call handyman and a "Dave"-of-all-trades.
