The Groomer Guy Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I was sad to hear that Dave did not make it, Wow I was expecting to see him pull up at the store with his sled this winter. I met Dave early online in the mid 2000's, I had the chance to meet a group of riders from the forum around 2007- 2008 I think when I was at a conference in Stratford, we had a good time that evening, he was with his son, Canuck was there also with us. We hit it off right away, he was funny and always had a smile. When he would come riding in Dubreuilville he would stay a few days, he was always doing something with lights, gadgets on his sled, GPS's and stuff lol, the tech guy on snow. For a while he was given a new nickname because of a trailer mishap he had on the hwy. lol here's a quote I found that he posted recently in November that shows how he was. " "While I love snowmobiling, most of the pleasure comes from the socializing with others over lunch / dinner and a few drinks after the ride. ." Sledjunk RIP Dave, you will be missed buddy. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manotickmike Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Never met Dave, but sure enjoyed knowing the man through this wonderful forum. Seemed like the epitome of a great guy you'd be proud to share a meal, a trip, a room or a trail with. Going to try to be a little more like Dave. Happy trails sir.

skidooboy Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 i met Dave through the forum, and like so many have mentioned, he was a friend to all, right up front, first to reach out a hand to welcome you. later i was able to put a face to the name, by meeting him, and his daughter a few times at the Novi show. he was always excited to come to Novi for the "BIG SHOW" and be able to shop in the stores in the states. he was always tinkering with something, to make it better, or make things better for himself, and fellow sledders. i regret, though having his cell number, and us trading an occasional text years ago, i didnt reach out as much as i would have liked to, or should have. i really regret not seeing him in person in feb, or march of this year, just before the trails closed, when he was in Dubreuilville for the last time, with Rvrnd, and Irreverent. kris came for a visit at our house but dave and bob were a bit tired from the days ride, and wanted to be rested for the next leg of their ride. now looking back, i wish both of us would have taken the time, for one last laugh, handshake, over a beer that night, or breakfast the next day, before they left, to continue their journey. just goes to show you, tomorrow is not given, cherish those around you, they can be taken away without warning. ride in peace my friend, until we meet on the other side...
