O gentlest heart of Jesus, ever present in the blessed sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in purgatory, have mercy on the soul of thy departed servant. Be not severe in thy judgement, but let some drops of thy precious blood fall upon the devouring flames. Do thou o merciful savior send thy angels to conduct thy departed servant to a place of refreshment, light and peace.

May the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen

Aside from being the world’s greatest “Doggy-Daddy” to his daughters, he was passionate about sports - playing, coaching and watching, especially hockey, softball, golf and college football. He never missed an opportunity to cheer on his Maple Leafs, Blue Jays and Sooners, and he loved it when a Canadian was on the PGA leaderboard. He spent his free time coaching his daughter’s hockey and softball teams, and was President of the Orangeville Girls Hockey Association for several years, bringing access to and passion for hockey to an entire community. Those who knew him best knew that Dave was truly happy when he was staying busy and staying in charge. 

He is preceded in death by his father, David, and his mother, Moira. He is survived by his two daughters, Nicole Lenau (Curt) and Kelsey Morgan-Paulick (RJ), his grandson Jaden Paulick, mother of his children, Margie, his brothers Rod (Deb) and Wayne (Diana), his sister Liz (Don), and many uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, nieces, lifelong friends and granddogs that he loved. 

In line with Dave’s wishes, Celebrations of Life will be held in both St. Louis and the Greater Toronto Area in the Fall. As these gatherings are arranged, details will be shared via social media. Until then, know that Dave’s final days were full of memories of family and friends, and he says to all of you, “Thank you for being my friend.”
