I just stumbled on this memorial and was dismayed to learn of Dave's passing. I enjoyed working with him while at the University of Waterloo. His gentle but no-nonsense approach to the audio work he did for us there remains a strong memory for me many years later.

Regretfully not able to attend today. This note coming from St. Lucia, but thinking of Lambert & Vicki, of Florence & Ivan and of Cameron as well who we met too long ago in Kitchener for him to recall. But Dave was in my Stouffville High class and his almost daily access to his father's green Chev pick-up was fun for one like me so averse to cross-country running! Eventually l was spotted hiding in his trunk bed by coach Rehill, to run the entire circuit again!. That was for 2 senior years of High School. But Dawna had known the Yake family much longer than I, i.e. at Gormley church. We had great times at Youth Group and that early exposure to the Good News of the Gospel resulted in us all safely "In Christ". So with that eternal pardon personally applied, we're guaranteed to see Dave (without handicap) in Glory! Hallelujah. .

It was with sadness that I read of David's passing away. I was head of maintance at Saint Luke's Place for 25 years and have gotten to know and appreciate so many residents and tenants . I remember when David called me to his room one day. I remember talking to him about installing the sound system in our church . After sharing some memories David asked a Favour of me . He wanted some pictures hung in his room. This was a usual request by new residents so I said sure. We was I surprised when in the box were a number of framed record album covers. I love southern gospel music so I recognized the quartet right away. I did not know David was part of the quartet. What apleasent surprise. It's great to know David is now part of a greater choir singing base to his hearts content. God bless you David and thanks for the music. Pieter Vos.

My deepest sympathy to the Yake family on Dave's passing. I have many good, long ago memories of times spent with Dave, a dear friend of Ed's (Wideman) throughout their youth, also our best man. Sadly, I am unable to attend his memorial service. Thinking of all of you as you celebrate Dave's life.

My thoughts and prayers for God’s comfort and peace go out the the family and friends of David. I can see him singing in heaven’s choir right along side my husband Bill in the bass section. I always enjoyed talking to Dave. He was such a social person.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this trying time. First time I met him he was installing a car bar in his 57 chev at Kensen enterprises in Kitchener. Enjoyed connecting with him as he sang with the Watchmen over the years. As master of ceremonies at our wedding in 1972, we enjoyed his love and humour. Will look forward to joining him in the heavenly choir.
