Avis de décès de David Thomas

THOMAS, David "Dave" Morris October 30, 1941 - April 29, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dave, beloved husband of Lois Ann Thomas (nee Powell) of Calgary, AB, on April 29, 2013 at the age of 71 years. Dave was born in Moose Jaw, SK but moved to Calgary in 1942 and always thought of himself as a lifelong Calgarian. He worked in the computer industry, originally in Sales, before he found his true passion in Human Resources. Dave was an enthusiastic runner who ran nine marathons, including the Boston Marathon in 1986. He was also an active member of the Calgary Winter Club where he enjoyed curling for many years. After retirement he fell in love with cruising and had cruised to over 35 countries, the highlight of which was a trip to the Holy Land. Dave loved his grandchildren and thoroughly enjoyed spending his time with them. Besides his loving wife, Dave is remembered by his son David (Lisa) Thomas of Calgary, AB; daughter Colleen (Ben) Groot also of Calgary, AB; five grandchildren: Kia and Kiegan Groot and Brandon, Evann and Hayden Thomas; and one brother Don (Wendy) Thomas. He was predeceased by his mother, Ethel Hewitt. A Private Family Service will be held for immediate family. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
