My condolences to Mrs. Gentile ,Amanda , Darren and extended family.

We were neighbors in Lake Bonavista.

My childhood memories of Mr.Gentile are that he was a kind ,soft spoken man.

I even remember playing the game Operation with Amanda as a small child.

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers as I know how difficult of a time this is .

Best wishes to Shirley and family The world does keep spinning so keep your chin up and wear your happy face Been there done that

Dear Shirley and Family,

I was so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. As an old Esso compatriot it was always enjoyable to relive “old times” with Dave at Esso functions and particularly at our annual “beer fest” during the Christmas Season. Our sincere sympathies to all the family from Bryan, Verna and Trish Pryce

I am so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was an amazing friend to my father, Bob Finch and a great support to our family in dad's later years. I know how much they enjoyed golfing, hiking and just walking together and Dave made sure dad was able to get out. My deepest condolences.

Dave was a wonderful friend and he and I over the years would reminisce about our days together. The Elks PeeWee hockey team. Army Cadets and members of the Militia 431 Technical Squadron in Blairmore. Our professional lives took us down different paths but never broke our bond. I learned from our conversations over some sixty plus years that he was a man's man. He had a big, warm heart and a wonderful lust for living that abided by the golden rule. David "Easy" John walked among us with the gait and assuring presence of a "John Wayne".

My condolences to you, Shirley, and your family on the passing of Dave. I first got to know Dave in Tripoli Libya where we both worked for different oil companies. Many years later, once back in Calgary, our families would get together for social visits; most memorable were the Christmas Eve dinners. I will remember Dave as a gentle, kind person and very engaging in conversations. My thoughts are with you and family at this difficult time.

Shirley and family, We were saddened to hear of Dave's passing. A humble, kind man, we will always remember our chats at the spring and fall picnics at Sheep River Falls and Forget Me Not pond. Condolences to the family

Dear Shirley, Manda, and Darren- I am so very sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. I have such fond memories of my visits with him in Missoula and Calgary and of course, enjoying a great pasta dinner all together. Thinking of you.

Love- Lynnette

Shirley and Family:

Caroline and I are so very sorry to hear of Dave’s passing.

We will miss him dearly.

Caroline and Clarke Johnson

My sincerest sympathy and condolences to the Dave Gentile family.

Hello Shirley, Amanda and Darren,

Sharon and I are so sorry to hear of David's passing. He and I grew up 2 doors apart on Second street in Coleman and were close friends going thru school. Did a lot of things together. We reconnected in recent times thru the COB lunches.

Take care and stay safe.

Vic and Sharon Lemecha

Val and I were so saddened to hear about David. I worked with Dave in Dawson Creek and later on in Calgary, He was always a great person to work with and always got the job done in his usual professional manner. Dave was definitely one of the good guys. Everyone will miss him.

Dear Shirley and family,

I am so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing.

My association with Dave at D’Arcy Ranch and in the craft show circuit bring back many fond memories. Always a welcoming smile.

My thoughts are with you all.

Barb Davenport.

I worked with Dave at Imperial Oil for quite a few years. He was always smiling, very helpful and engaging, a very gentle person. We crossed paths at D’Arcy Ranch at the first tee several years ago and it was a very pleasant surprise as we managed to briefly catch up. My sincerest condolences to his friends and family.

Dear Shirley, Darren, and Amanda:

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband/father. Our families followed each around the world and spent many happy times together in Dawson Creek, Sydney, Calgary, and Tripoli. I always remember “Mr. Gentile” with great fondness - he was such a soft-spoken and kind man.

My heart goes out to all of you as you grieve this sudden loss. Just know he’s with Mal and Gail Parsons and a host of other friends and family enjoying a drink of something and laughing about the old times.

My sincere condolences,

Allison

Dear Shirley, Amanda and Darren,

I am am sorry that you lost Dave. He was, I thought, a very unique man. Smart and kind of quiet. I thought he was a really likeable person.

I feel lucky to have so many great memories of Uncle Dave. His gentle nature, love of golf, appreciation of good food, comments scribbled in the newspaper - will all be missed.

Deepest sympathy to Aunt Shirley, Amanda, Darren (Laura and Miles), Julie, Donna, Gary and their families.

Take it easy, Easy!

Love,

Tammy
