Monty Laskin, CEO, Caledon Community Services
Caledon has lost one of its finest, a man of huge integrity, a warm and kind friend to anyone making his acquaintance and quite clearly a much adored and beloved soul. Dave has been my friend and mentor for many years through his long tenure as Caledon Community Services’ Treasurer on our Board of Directors. His commitment to our organization was stellar; he gave generously of his time and attention to support an organization that is proud to have been able to support him. His presence around the Board table will be missed, both because he brought intelligence to important discussions and warmth to every relationship he had with our Board and staff. I will miss my lunch dates with Mr. Lostchuck. In his forever humble manner, he offered me wisdom and perspective on one challenge or another and always, always, always reminded me that no matter how difficult something was, tomorrow would be better.
On behalf of the entire team at CCS, I extend my deepest condolences to his remarkable partner Leslie and all of his children, grandchildren and adoring circle of extended family and friends. The likes of DL don’t come along every day, his legacy is one of caring and compassion to all.
Ann Wood

Nancy Kopriva, staff at Caledon Community Services
Please accept my sincere condolences at this sudden and heartbreaking loss. As a staff member at Caledon Community Services I had the pleasure of meeting Dave at various functions in his role as the Treasurer of our Board of Directors. He made a great contribution to the work of our agency and in supporting the Caledon community.
Michelle Veinot, Caledon Community Services
Dave was such a warm and gentle man with such ease in the way he interacted with others. I feel truly lucky to have known him for the past 10 years through our work together at Caledon Community Services. Forever a champion in community building and always spreading kindness and positivity onto others. I greatly respected Dave for his commitment to our Board of Directors, for his desire to help through the sharing of his skills and knowledge and also notably his quick witty sense of humour. He will be greatly missed by the entire CCS family. Sending deepest condolences to all.

Mary I was so terribly saddened to hear of your loss. My thoughts and deepest sympathy are with you at this time.
Donna Cragg
Sincere condolences to Leslie and family and to Dave’ mother Mary. My heart aches for you all. Although I only had the privilege of knowing Dave for a little over a year, his quiet strength and obvious intelligence made an impact from our very first meeting. What a gentleman, so giving of his time and expertise. Enjoying his company at Night on the Town one of CCS’s annual events is a memory that will always bring a smile. Gone too soon and never forgotten. Rest in Peace

To Dave’s Family:
I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
I knew Dave, not only through CCS, but also through his involvement in a couple of fundraisers for the Rick Hansen Wheels in Motion which was held in Caledon East a few years back. I considered him to be a wonderful, thoughtful being and always looked forward to our chats regarding accessibility issues.
Take care,

In the various times that I had a opportunities to speak with Dave or listen to him at our AGMs, the most striking things about him were his warmth, congeniality and sense of humour. What a profound loss this is for his family and for the community that he was so clearly committed to for so many years. He created a remarkable legacy and he will be sadly missed.
Sincere condolences to you all.

Dear Leslie and Family,
I sat on the CCS Board with Dave for 12 yrs. starting in 2003. His intellect as our member responsible for reviewing the state of the agency’s finances was always highly valued but it was his humble attitude and gentle soul which
defined his character that will be sorely missed. In all the years we spent together I never heard him speak ill of anyone or complain about his multiple health challenges. He was a role model for those who had the good fortune to know him. May he rest in peace…..
Patricia Hutchison
Leslie dear: My heart goes out to you and your family at this most difficult of all times. May your memories of Dave and all the things you had together come now to comfort you; may the love of your many friends surround you, and may the strength of your wonderful family give you the strength to face the days ahead in the sure knowledge that Life is always stronger than Death. With affection and sympathy, (Rev.) Patricia Mackay-Hutchison
Carine Strong

Nicole Dumanski - Caledon Community Services
Over the years, I have had several privileges to get to know Dave. His purity and genuineness are something that have always resonated deeply with me, and it always helped that when the CCS bus came to the door, there was always a friendly puppy waiting to say hello. I know that you will always and forever have an amazing angel watching over you.
