David's enthusiastic interest in all things historical and his zest for learning always provided a breath of fresh air to our group. His crafts in which he replicated artifacts of the past are true works of art and are inspirational to those seeking a better understanding of the way we were. His passion for understanding the Aboriginal way of life is reflected in his art and will remain as part of his legacy.
I only wish that we had been able to share in the building of that birch bark canoe that he so desired to create - have a good voyage my friend.

Dave Lamb combined curiosity, enthusiasm and determination. He added humility to that mix. His abiding interest in First Nations' technology was inspiring. He was a kind and gentle man. He will be missed.
Marg and I went to the visitation for David yesterday and his interest in the First Nations community was confirmed by the presence of an elder who conducted a private ceremony with the family.
The family restated how important David'd involvement with the chapter was to him and suggested that at a later date they may wish our assistance in sorting through his collection of historic material in order to determine its distribution. I'm glad that we went.
