In Memory of David Close

By In Memory of David Close

In loving memory of David Close

Our Dad was a cherished father, father-in-law, grandad, brother and friend. 

We miss him dearly. Forever in our hearts.

Dad showed great courage during his life in response to cancer challenges. 

He would take great comfort knowing funds raised in his memory will advance medical research to prevent, detect and treat all types of cancer.

Your contribution will go directly to ACRF and all donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Deepest sympathies to all. We will miss seeing our neighbour sitting on his deck, watering, looking after weeds. We will miss his music ( Joni Mitchell), ukulele playing and singing. We will just miss him. Be at peace David. Thank you for the friendship.
