MANNING, David - The family are saddened to announce the peaceful passing of David Manning, at age 98, on Tuesday, May 3, 2022, at Georgian Bay General Hospital in Midland.
He leaves daughters Diane (Martin) Kane and Denise (John) Ladouceur, granddaughter Ruth French (Don Proulx) and great-grandsons Hunter, Colton and Noah.
He was predeceased by his wife Helen, brothers Ken and Den and sisters Gladys and Irene.
He is survived by sisters Hildred and Lillian. He had a happy, full life with few regrets and amazing opportunities such as working on the Avro Arrow and joining George Brown College at its outset and becoming co-ordinator before retirement in Midland.
He was an RCAF Veteran having served across Canada while awaiting pilot training before WWII ended holding many fond memories of Halifax and Gander.
A graveside service will be held later this spring with interment of Dave and Helen at Vasey Cemetery.
For those wishing to make a donation, Dad was a proud supporter of the Salvation Army and GBGH.
