Murray, Colleen and family,

Sending you our deepest sympathies on the passing of your father. I only got to meet your dad once when he was up in Cobourg last fall but I have heard many stories and seen many posts about David.

Wish we're able to be there to pay our respects in person but we know that the memories and laughter you all shared will provide some comfort during the difficult days ahead. Your dad is reunited with his love and together they'll watch over all of you. Take care of each other.

To show your sympathy for the death of David Baird, you are invited to choose from the foundations selected by the family.
