In memory of Dave Hamilton

From Darcy Long District Governor 2018-2019
March 30,2021
 

 
Dear Rotary Family,
 
It is with profound sadness I share with you the news of the passing of our beloved District Governor Dave Hamilton. Dave lost his battle with Prostate cancer last night (March 29), with Tanya by his side.
 
There has been such an outpouring of love from all of you, and I have no doubt Dave has felt it and it has helped to comfort him in his final days.
 
As that same love will help Tanya, and Dave’s family, in the days moving forward as we all grieve with them.
 
The Rotary Family has lost a true champion, humanitarian, and friend.
 
Due to the Covid Pandemic restrictions we are unable to meet in person to celebrate Dave at this time.
 
Rest assured as soon as there is an opportunity to gather, notice will go out for a celebration of life to be held at the Beach Grove Golf Club in Tsawwassen as per Dave’s request.
 
We will pass on more information as it becomes known to us.
 
Rest in Peace Dave. Thank you for sharing your dance moves with us.

You were an amazing friend and inspirational leader who will truly be missed.
 
With very heavy hearts,
Darcy and Doug
