    Oct. 7, 1926 - June 25, 2012 Surrounded by his family, David went home to be with his Lord after a brief struggle with cancer. Left to grieve are Cath, his loving wife of 64 years, children Murray (Taffy), Dorothy (Bill Ballard), George (Brenda), Craig (Dailene), grandchildren Paul (Roslynn), Kevin (Nikki), Jason (Rachael), Alisha, Derek, Jordan, Jesse, great granddaughter Sienna and many others who called him Grandpa. Dave was in real estate and development for many years but his most important role was encouraging others, as was evident to us during his illness. Thanks to the staff, volunteers, and especially Dr. Sclater at Crossroads Hospice for their loving care. A celebration of life will be held at Coquitlam Alliance Church (2601 Spurway Ave.) on July 5th at 1 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Dave Wood Legacy Fund would be appreciated.
