To Dave's Family......Belated though my words be, it does not diminish my words of deep sorrow to all of you. I was blessed to have known Dave through Trinity United Church and the Kitchener Sports Association. Everytime I had the pleasure of encountering him, I was warmed by his personality, his smile and his stories....and he had stories to tell! The world is just a little less brighter with his passing. But the memories of the life he lived and shared with so many will never be forgotten. He is at Peace with his Creator and we take comfort in that knowledge. God bless you and keep you safe and well.

So very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I remember him when he was affiliated with the Waterloo Ghosts Ladies team--a great coach. I was a player on the opposing teams in the MidWestern Ontario League--I played for the Shakespeare Diamonds, oh so many years ago. RIP Dave.

I first met Mr. McLelland when I was a student at the newly opened GRCI. One of our meetings that he always liked to tell whenever we met over the years, was the story of me getting a detention. I had stayed home from school to finish a project. The next day I discovered that many other students also played hookie that day. However, on the absentee form, they said they were sick. On the other hand, I told the truth. He joked with me and apologized that he had to send me for a detention. Another prominent encounter was years later when I was a new teacher and hired by the WCSB. He showed up in my Pine Grove classroom just to observe me. The next memory was when he came to my rescue after I lost a student at a hockey arena where we had taken classes for a skating outing. I truly respected this man of integrity. He always remembered my name and asked about my family. His personality glowed with sincerity. We always had smiles for each other. He was a giant in education, a giant in humanity and a giant Rangers Fan. I will always remember fondly, our genuine encounters.

Mike and I will miss Dave so much, he has been a wonderful neighbor to us and such a good man. We will miss seeing him sitting on his porch. When we used to walk our dog Mack (who has passed), Dave always had a treat for him. I know Dave is reunited with Mary and Glenn.....I am hoping our Mack finds you Dave....Mary...and Glenn....and gives you a kiss like he used to. Sending heartfelt hugs to the family.

I was very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was the very best Science teacher that a girl could have! He taught me Grade 13 Biology as well as General Science in Grade 10. Dave not only taught science to his students; he also taught about "life". Years later, when I was an English teacher, myself, I would often run into Dave at the Ed. Centre. He always remembered me, and we enjoyed reminiscing about "days gone by". I also had the pleasure of teaching his girls, Heather and Lynne. Both were excellent students, whom I enjoyed having in my class. Dave was one of my favourite persons in the Waterloo Board of Education.

A very lovely man who made so many lives better. David found Betty and Betty found David, at church, and they definitely enjoyed each other's company. Their walks around the "Gilmour trail" became special for all who watched them, and thanks to a neighbour who let them rest 1/2 way around the circuit.

I was lucky to be a high school of student of Mr McLelland twice at KCI. He made chemistry interesting and fun to learn. I ran into him a number of times as my family went through the various minor sports. He did seem to be everywhere. He always had a smile and a cheery hello. I may not have remembered all of my teachers but I certainly remembered him.
Our condolences to the McLelland family on their loss.

Dave was a well respected and admired curriculum leader and community contributor. I respected his integrity and commitment to the WRDSB and his staff. He inspired many across the province with the high standards he set. He had a great sense of humour and such a dry wit. I will miss the twinkle in his eye and our wonderful conversations at our retiree lunches.

I was so sorry to read of Dave’s passing. Every time we met , without exception, I was greeted with a huge smile and a warm handshake. He was the consummate Gentleman of KW. He was able to give the most wonderful prayers of thanksgiving at community functions and he always gave much more than he took from life. I trust the many warm memories will sustain you now as you adjust to his sad passing. May his memories be a Blessing!
