David Boyce, a stalwart of the Long Gully community, has died suddenly. David was a tireless contributor to community programs: Energetic Street Community Garden, Mensheds as well as the committee of the Long Gully Neighbourhood Centre.

As well as leaving behind  his family, he leaves behind many sad people like myself, who will not only miss his hat and handlebar moustache, but his belief that a community is grown through small steps of positive contribution. Dave made countless small steps like this that enabled so many positive things to happen.

He took the last small step last week, but he took a great leap in his life.

Rest in peace.
