    SMITH Whitman David Aug 4, 1929 Apr 19, 2016

    Mr. Whitman David Smith of Pine Lake, Alberta, passed away after a brief illness, at the Red Deer General Hospital, at the age of 86 years. Dave was predeceased by Beth, his beloved wife of 61 years. Left to mourn his passing are four sons: David (Kerry) and Douglas (Susan) of Calgary, Daniel (Tami) of Red Deer and Duncan of Pine Lake. Survived by his grandchildren: Jay (Gillian), Brad (Kerri), Lauren, Haylie, Cole and Chase, and great- grandchildren Charlotte and Spencer.

    Dave was born in Calgary, the youngest child of Alma and Whitman Smith. He grew up on both the family farm in the southern Alberta community of Blackie and the city home in the community of Roxboro in Calgary. Dave met Beth when he was 12 and she was 11, and knew she would be the love of his life; a story that we all heard many times over the years. Dave and Beth moved to Pine Lake in 1958, where they established their own family farm and raised their sons. Dave was a social fellow who enjoyed curling, volunteered as a Cub Scout leader when the boys were young and worked as a seed salesman for 25 years, which resulted in many connections throughout the community. Dave continued to live on the family farm until pneumonia forced him into the hospital. We will miss his funny and cynical outlook on life, death and taxes.

    A memorial will be held at the Pine Lake Hub on Monday, May 09, 2016 at 1 pm, where we can all come together to celebrate life. The family would like to thank Dr. Daniel and the staff on Unit 31 for their attentive and compassionate care. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com Arrangements in care of PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM 6287 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer (403)340-4040.
