DAVID (DAVE) ANDREW GLOVER
 
   It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of David (Dave) Andrew Glover on Wednesday, May 4, 2016 at the age of 50 years. David passed surrounded by family after a short and difficult battle with ALS.   David’s memory will be forever cherished and he will be missed greatly by his mom, Joan Glover; sisters, Jackie Glover and Sandra (Glover) Morison, as well as nephews Stephen, Scott and Ryan who all loved him dearly. He was predeceased by his dad Steve Glover in 1981, and we are comforted by the fact that they are now together again. David also leaves behind the Palmer family; the Cole family; many aunts; uncles; and cousins in England; many lifelong close friends who were very important to him, and many co-workers from past and present. David was also predeceased by his uncle Jeff from Winnipeg; his uncle Norman from Liverpool, England; his grandparents on both sides and his beloved dog Tasha.   David was so full of life and had a great sense of humor. He loved living on the edge, breaking the rules and making others laugh. He loved being outdoors fishing, boating, snowmobiling, watching the Winnipeg Jets play hockey, or driving around in his cherished Ford Raptor Truck, but above everything, David loved his family and close friends the most. He was an amazing carpenter, a perfectionist in everything he did and he took great pride in his work.  About ten years ago, David went back to college and university to become a carpentry teacher at Tech Voc High School. Being a teacher was so fulfilling for him, both the students and teachers added a lot of joy to David’s life.   A celebration of David’s life will be held on Saturday, May 14, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. in the Chapel of Memories in Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel, 1020 Main Street @ Manitoba Avenue.   We would like to thank, from the bottom of our heart, all the family and friends that provided so much love and support to David and our family. Words cannot express the difference it has made. We would also like to thank the many Palliative Care staff, with special gratitude to Trish and Tamara (his favorite nurses), Angela and Diana from the ALS Society and the staff at Deer Lodge Centre.    In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations can be made in David’s memory to the ALS Society, 2A, 1717 Dublin Avenue, Winnipeg, MB, R3H 0H2, any no kill animal shelter or a charity of your choice.   Wojcik’s Funeral Chapels & Crematorium, Winnipeg, 1020 Main Street, 204.586.8668 www.wojciksfuneralchapel.com
