Messages of Condolence

Wow, this is so shockingly sad. I started at Transit when David was still Preston Parker. We gave him the nickname "Peep", and I still did whenever I saw him. It kinda suited him back then. I was in the same Grief Support Group as "Peep", my partner passed around the same time as his wife. He was so incredibly sad, I related so much, but he too was struggling to move forward. It's a nice feeling to know they are now reunited. Thoughts of love to "Peep's" family. He was a fun guy, he will be missed by many.

I met and worked with David (Preston) In 1990 at Regina Transit ! He was a great guy and co-worker ! He was always very pleasant and a gentleman! Later I enjoyed seeing some of his photography! I was so happy for him when Sherri and he were reunited! A true love story!! I know David will be missed by all who knew him!!! Deepest Condolences to his family!!
