Dave Bouzane

David Dominic Bouzane, a man of utmost strength and character, cherished every
moment with family and friends. His beautiful wife Beulah is and always will be
his best friend, his rock, his everything. She and his son Dion David, daughter
Debbie, and grandchildren Kaitlyn Nadine Bouzane, Nicholas David Bouzane, and
Megan Elizabeth Bouzane were his entire reason for life. He adored them beyond
anything words might describe.
Dave had the ability to find strength in everything and good in everyone. He
received respect from all around him simply by giving respect to all around him.
So knowledgeable, so skilled, so genuine, so gentle, kind and caring, there is
nothing he wouldn’t do for anyone, anytime. Such an extraordinary man can never
be replaced, but can be remembered always.
A man of this stature has strong roots. His parents Joe and Kate Bouzane have a
wonderful family with brothers and sisters Harold (Drift) Bouzane, Roy and
Patricia (Toose) Bouzane, Gordon Bouzane, Terry and Cathy Bouzane, Tony and
Helen Bouzane, Cynthia and Gary Budgell, Paula and Wayne Mills, and Gerry and
Donna Hynes. They have the unwritten, unbreakable bond that lasts forever.
The Peyton family gives nothing but strength to Dave and Beulah’s life. Claude
and Rose Peyton and family - Lois and George Barrett, Suzanne and Eugene
(Tunker) Campbell, Juanita Rose and Calvin Freeman, and Valerie and Mark
Kingsbury have always been closer to his heart then anyone might realize and
have been important to him in every part of life.
The families are filled with many beautiful nieces and nephews whom he loved
dearly and deeply, each in their own special way.
“If” by Rudyard Kipling is a poem cherished by Dave, more so they are words that
he lived by each day.
When you see that classic car or that motorcycle rumbling down the road; when
you hear the golden oldies tunes on the radio; when that motor just won’t seem
to work but it’s ‘still a perfect motor’; when you witness that quiet man who
has to say nothing at all to be understood; when you see that man who would
selflessly sacrifice all for someone else, then think of him and smile.
Dave is so loved and has had such great impact on us all that no words can
explain how lucky we are. When we are so fortunate to be blessed with a man of
such grace, it is difficult to say goodbye. Instead, cherish every moment and
memory that you have had fortune to share with such a great man.
I am
very sadden to have learned of Dave’s passing on Tuesday afternoon. Dave was a
wonderful friend and colleague and was passionate about life. Dave only recently
retired in April of 2011, he had recently turned 67.

So sad to hear of this
news. Dave was a great guy both on the job as a knowledgable person who was
most willing to share his experience with colleagues and outside the office
where he was a real gentleman. It was a pleasure knowing him and working with
him. Condolences to his family and friends.

I am so sorry to hear
about the passing of my friend and former colleague David Bouzane. Him and I
were born the same year and retired the same year. He was a gentleman and a
great person. I always looked forward to meet with him whenever I visited
Newfoundland and Labrador. My most sincere condoleances to the Bouzane
family. Dave will be missed.

To the Bouzane family,
I was so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Dave. As a former colleague
of his, I have had the pleasure of working with Dave for 20+ years. You
could always count on Dave to brighten your day with his witty way and
little jokes. Dave was a real gentleman and he was always very helpful,
knowledgeable and professional in performing his duties. Dave will be
greatly missed, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult
time.
