All will miss his wit, storytelling, poetry, letters, stock advice, and the enduring pleasure of his company. He was pre- deceased by his wife Donna (nee Horan), and by his parents, Kelvin Bunner and Freda Newton Bunner, and by his elder sister Elsie, among many other family members and friends. He is survived in Oakville by son Dan, wife Wendy (Smith) and grandsons Kelvin and Grenville, and in Edmonton by son Paul, wife Kathleen (Wall) and grand- daughter Mary Roach, and in Alexandria, Virginia by brother Alan, wife Lia (LaPiana), and their family, and in Duncan, B.C. by niece Helen (Miller) and husband Gary Dumoulin and their family. The Bunner family wishes to thank Dave's neighbours, especially Lois and Joe Lee-Waddell; friends encountered at the downtown lakefront parks and Post Park dog run, especially Carol Street; and countless others in his everyday experience in Oakville who helped him live a long, independent and interesting life. Dave and his family also wish to thank Dr. Helen Pyle for her competence and compassion in enabling his request to die, in accordance with the Medical Assistance in Dying protocols of the Government of Ontario.

REES, Mavis Nathalie (Lawson) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Of Oakville, Ontario, Canada, passed away peacefully December 3, 2021, at Wyndham Manor Long-Term Care with her devoted husband and great life-partner, Wes, by her side.

Mavis was born September 14, 1942, in Cardiff Wales. As a career, she served as a registered nurse; she joined Llandough Hospital (Wales) nurses' training program in 1959 just as she was turning 17. For Mavis, nursing was a calling as there was no greater contribution one can make than providing care and compassion to others. She was a wonderful best friend, wife and life- partner to Wes for 62 years and a lovely Mum and Grandma to her immediate family and a kind friend to so many. She will be forever in our hearts and leaves us with remember-when moments that are plentiful and filled with deep love. As per her wishes, a small memorial gathering will be held Friday, December 10th at 3 p.m., Oakview Funeral Home, 56 Lakeshore Road, Oakville, ON, Canada.
