DAVID WALKER Obituary

David and I knew each other for 30+ years and I will treasure the memories of the times we spent together. David, I hope you are with my husband, Tom, and that you two will have a laugh together and take care of Norman and me from wherever you are. Love to you both.

My condolences to Norman and David's family. I emailed David recently checking on his health and he replied with his same weird sense of humour. We will miss you David. Much love.

David, my heart crumples a bit,
though your space there is solid and forever... oh yeah... <3!
Thanks vastly.
Tender thoughts to your family and friends.

David, I miss you very much. Gracias por tantas conversaciones bonitas y divertidas. Nunca te olvidaré, amigo. Sending love to Norman, Jane and Susan and the rest of your family and friends.

Whom shall I say "Hello. Mr. Walker" to now after someone calls me "Ding"? You will always be remembered. Fondly, Ding.

Goodbye dear David.
With so much gratitude for all our covid walks & talks. In retrospect I realize how important they were for my sanity in those long bleak months. Thank you for a deeper insight into the Extraordinary Person that you became for me, but had always been ... over the decades.

My heart goes out to Jane and Susan who will forever miss you Big / Little Brother.
And to your sweet beloved Normie.

David, I see you laughing again ... freed from the ordeal of every laboured breath.

With my love, Pippa

Sometimes there are just no words. Remembering David with many beautiful memories that bring a smile that often comes along with great laughs we shared. My condolences to you Norman and all of David's family + friends. Love Kathleen xo

As the song goes "I did it my way."
And David did just that.
Marcus & I enjoyed many times together with Norman & David in New York. He will be missed dearly.
Our condolences to Norman and to David´s family. Rest in Power.....

In my life, I have never met anyone who made me laugh the way that you did. Such a brilliant and wicked sense of humour. Thank you for all the love you gave.

David, it was a pleasure to have shared many working years with you. We had so much fun. I will treasure those memories. You will also hold a special place in my heart.

David l am going to miss you so much. I thank you for all the memories and times you were there for me (and there were many).
My heart goes out to Norman, David´s family and friends.
Rest in peace my dear friend. Love Marie

In September 1970, I sat down at a beer party during Trinity's orientation week and a very tall blond man sat down beside me, for which I will always be so grateful. David and I were two of the extremely small number of first-year students in sciences at Trinity, much to the disgust of most of our fellow first-year students. We had to become lab partners in order to survive of the behemoth of U of T itself. More than once David left me in charge of an experiment only for it to go wrong in two minutes, making me run to the student lounge to extricate David to rescue the mess. Our jeans were full of acid burns, the marks of poor chemistry students. We skipped so many classes to debate the meaning of life in the Buttery. David decided to take 3rd year off to travel Europe and obviously so did I, sadly not together. We lost track of each other in the 90's (I was in Hong Kong) but last year David came across my email address and contacted me, for which I will be eternally grateful. David reminded me what love is. Thank you so much, dear friend. Love you forever, you gave me so much.

Farewell my old friend. Many thanks for the laughs and so many memories. You'll never be forgotten.

David, you brought energy and a passion for life into every room you entered. You inspired many, fascinated many more, and baffled the rest of them. To know you was to understand the twists and turns of real friendship. The first time we met, 21 years ago in the four-seasons in Toronto, you ordered a $52-dollar martini, I'm still paying for it! I can still hear your laugh and see that mischievous grin, and it's those memories of you I will hold on to until we meet again and I know we will meet again.

David, You will always be in my heart and I consider myself lucky you were in my life. Thank you for all the special times and happy memories we shared together.

In loving memory of a wonderful person and a great friend.
You will be missed

David was a beautiful person who brought much joy to many, including myself. He was a wonderful partner and husband to Norman, who I have been friends with for over 30 years. I will miss David greatly. Much love to David´s family, husband, and many friends.

It was so great getting to know you in what turned out to be the last two years of your life. Hearing all your stories, getting to know the people you´ve known, preserved in high fidelity memories. But really we were both just in it for the LOLs.

David, whatever happened to laughing with our heads thrown back? I will cherish always the deep resonance of your voice; your ready wit and; all those many laughs and memories over the years. I am grateful for all that we shared . . . rest now . . .

"So it is with hope and gratitude that we honor your life and what you have come to mean to us."
"You´re someone who has used your life to touch so many others. We will always feel incredibly lucky that ours was one of them.
In friendship and much love. Tricia & Peter XXOO

David,
A brilliant mind
A wicked sense of humour
A kind heart
You will be sorely missed by many. XO

For my beloved friend of over fifty years. Playmate, tribe member, fellow traveller. We overlapped, you and I.
Who will I tell things to?

Thinking of Norman, Jane, & Susan today & holding past memories of David close.

Just what you wanted my love. simple, no pictures.
love you forever,
Normie
