Our deepest condolences to the Elward and Harwood family during this difficult time. Our link is through the Harwood family (Sarah Harwood) and although we did not have the opportunity to meet Dave, we know the special bond you all shared as a family as we have heard so great stories and fond memories of family trips back and forth to New Brunswick. We wish both the Elward and Harwood family strength in togetherness, love, understanding and peace. Rest in peace Dave.

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss…our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Although we did not know Dave personally, Dave was one of the first people our son Peter, Holland College Commercial Dive Program 2015, got to know when he began work with Cooke's after graduating. Peter spoke fondly of Dave, of his love for off-roading, and his family, and after learning of his illness.
Remember the good times over the bad, and take time for yourselves.
