We are so very saddened to hear about Dave’s passing. We spoke with him last week. It was a great relief when you two moved just around the corner,

He will be missed by many.

Connie and family: He was a great guy to be with; always colourful with interesting comments. I and many others enjoyed his companionship over nearly 50 or so years, firstly at Bolton Dairy, at Bolton Station 20 and later while visiting at Stayner, Wasaga and Alliston.

One of my first memories of Dave was when he hired me to mow the lawn at your first home in Bolton. Some of the moments later in lifes journey were sad, Dave helped me a lot. Dave was a true friend.

Dave will be missed by all those that new him.

Dave and Family – Sorry to hear about your dad. Thoughts are with you at this time.

Connie and family,
I can’t recall the many times I told Dave he was like a cat with nine lives……he was a true survivor through his many trials and tribulations with health issues! A smile aways comes to my mind when I think of Dave as he aways had a one liner that was meant to have some sort of shock value and a wack of humor attached to it!!!!!!! He just loved seeing what impact his comment would have…..he will sure be great entertainment for all his buddies in heaven.
We are sure going to miss you Davey!!!
Lots of good thoughts to you Connie……I know you will feel like you have lost your right arm with the loss of your soul mate. To Lee, David and Randy….your Dad had one of biggest hearts ever and I know he loved you all dearly.
Can hardly wait to give you all a hug on Friday……Kathy and Brad Denison (Hackett)

We’re thinking of all the Vanstones in this tough time. Our hearts and thoughts are with you.

Rob, Anna-Marie, Samantha, Allison & William

Hi Connie – we sat at the dinner table last night and the kids remembered going on the Legion float at Christmas’ past with Dave. we had some laughs and ‘remember when Mr Vanstone…’ So sorry for your loss. He is missed

Dave was always so kind and thoughtful to so many people. He was always so willing to lend a helping hand. We will always remember him with kindness.

Connie, Lee,Dave,& Randy & families…we are saddened to hear about your loss of Dave. We have so many found memories of Dave, for many years growing up in Bolton, with him on the Fire Department with dad ( Roy Clarkson) to seeing him around town, always a smile on his face & something funny to say! We hadn’t seen him in years, but never forgot the way he made us smile…sorry we couldn’t be there for you all, we just learned of his passing last night & we are in Florida right now, so could not be there, as much as we had wished we could. Connie, 52 years married,a rare treasure these days…I know you will hold him deep in your heart forever. Hugs to you all, love Dan & Sue.

Hello.

I am trying to find a lady by the name of Connie Vanstone. She was a poster master at wasaga beach and retired in 2006 and had a dog named bear. My mother recently passed away and they were friends. If I have the right lady could you please email me with her number so as I may reach her. If this is the wrong person I am very sorry

I am so very sorry to learn of Dave’s passing. First knew Dave when he was about sixteen and he and his Mom lived at the corner of Millard and Church Streets in Newmarket. He and my sister were friends. Dave called a year or so ago…just to “catch up” he said…had been a long, long time. We promised to keep in touch…but as so often happens…time goes by…….
I will always remember the “teen-age boy”…and the “man” who told me when we talked, how he’d fell in love with Connie…and about the family they had raised together. Rest in peace, my friend.
Jackie (Thompson)

Hello Connie my name’s Ross Wilson I met you and Dave when I was over in Canada 1987. My gran was your auntie Margaret Maggie would love too catch up with you all god willing
