Name: Eliza Berry
In memory of: David Dunlop
Message: David is my godfather. I write that he "is" because his wise, gentle and spirited way of being in the world will always remain with me. David always made me feel as if I had a supporter no matter what missteps I made. He sent me birthday greetings every year without fail and always rememebered things we had spoken about. He showed up without fail at every important celebration in my life whether that meant sharing the joy of a wedding or the pain of my mother's passing. I witnessed him being a faithful and steadfast friend to my father and I had the privilege of getting to know his gregarious and kind children whom I count as friends even though we don't see each other very often. I was so happy when he found joy with Diane and it was wonderful to know her as well. My heart goes out to all of his family. I believe David will always be with me. For the way he led me to understand that I remain forever grateful. With love, Eliza

Message: Dear Diane,

JoAnn and I arrived back in the County today and picked up the Wellington Times, only to read David's obituary. Please accept our sincerest condolences for your loss. Although we never had the good fortune to meet David, from your many comments about him and your devotion to him and the wonderful picture of him in the Times, he must have been an exceptionally warm, intelligent and caring man. Given the chronic nature of his illness and the slow deterioration that you witnessed over many months, at some level his passing must also be some kind of relief for you. I remember our quiet conversation at the lovely dinner we had at your home (which now seems a lifetime ago) in which you talked about going daily to see him and how painful it was not to be able to go see him when a bacterial infection broke out. I listened with great admiration, not just because you would go be with him daily but because it spoke of the love between the two of you.
It must be exceptionally hard at this time, with this bloody pandemic and all the restrictions it has placed on our lives. This is the time for you to be surrounded by family and friends, reminiscing about your times with David and your lives together.
I hope we can see you very soon but in the meantime, take care and our thoughts and affection are with you.

Alan and JoAnn

Name: Ian Henderson
In memory of: David Dunlop
Message: Greatly saddened to learn of David’s death but glad to know that he is now at peace having suffered for so long. David was one of the most constant kind and considerate of friends. It was a friendship going back to our McGill University days when not only were we fraternity brothers but also members of the McGill University soccer team that in 1960 were undefeated David being a goal scoring forward and I the goalkeeper. David took trouble to keep in touch throughout our lives and I was so happy to manage to meet up with him in recent years on several occasions thanks to the efforts that Dianne took to arrange reunions in Europe and in Canada. I am privileged to have received the friendship of a true gentleman.

Message: I have very fond memories of David, as a fellow colleague at Royal Trust. His infectious enthusiasm for his work coupled with his pleasant and friendly personality meant that it was always a pleasure to work with him. It is sad that his retirement years were overshadowed by dementia when he and his family deserved a longer enjoyment of his intelligence and sense of fun.
