Dave leaves his beloved wife Monique (René de Cotret), sons Mark, Timothy (Tracey Millman), granddaughters Mikaela and Lucy and his daughter Julie Anne. Dave also leaves his sister Shirley (Margeson), sister-in-law Jeanne (Belyea), many cousins, nieces, nephews and numerous friends throughout Canada. Dave was an avid piano player who would tickle the ivories at a moment's notice, but his heart was on River Philip in Nova Scotia where he spent 18 years enjoying tennis and friends. He was also a lifelong Liberal and really enjoyed knocking on doors at election time. He was a past president of the Oakville Provincial Liberal Party. Dave was an optimist and enjoyed a good laugh. Dave will be profoundly missed. Cremation has taken place and because of COVID a memorial and celebration of Dave's life will be held at a later time. Donations in honour of Dave's memory to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Oakville -Trafalgar Memorial Hospital would be appreciated.

Beloved Daughter of Ron and Joan Beattie. Sister to Brent (Tammy), Aunt to Riley, Scott and Sam. Beloved Sister-in law to Andra. Linda fought bravely to extend her time with her family and friends with a devastating diagnosis of Neuro Glioblastoma. Linda was raised in Oakville, lived in Winnipeg for a time and formed relationships from schools, workplaces and all corners of her world. After her marriage to Patrick in 1996 she was never more joyous than the days she welcomed Hannah in 1998 and Matthew in 1999, completing the perfect family. Her ability to create friendships and show empathy was her superpower. No one cared more for her friends and family than Linda. No person she knew could ever be alone at a holiday. Her table always had room for more. Identifying her essence is impossible without having known her, but those that knew her described her as loving, compassionate, empathetic, genuine and loyal. Her love of family and friends was her oxygen. Her loss is mourned, her contribution immeasurable, her love boundless and her memory eternal. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada would be greatly appreciated. www.braintumour.ca HECIMOVIC, Martin ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Passed away on November 4th at the age of 71.
