My condolences and prayers to all of Dave’s family. I met him many years ago in the eighties and he let me go in the starting-gate with him at EPR, the best seat in the house. Many years later I wrote my test and trained to be a starter, I went in the starting gate again with him many times, and he shared some of his vast expertise. He was a great mentor and had a true passion for harness racing. He is greatly missed.

His huge heart may have stopped beating but that heart touched so many people, it will live on with every thought, every memory and every story shared. We wish you the strength, hope and the love to carry on Dave's legacy for Marc, Elaine, Michael and your grandchildren. Rest In Peace, Dave! Ann and Karyl McLeod

Sharron, Marc, Elaine, and Mike,
My heartfelt condolences. Dave was a wonderful husband and dear father. Growing up with the Nicholsons, Dave always welcomed us kids into the home and drove us here, there, and everywhere. So many visits to the Lord Beaverbrook to see Dave at work or to catch a concert or show that he arranged for us. He was always quick to provide the LBR or EPR updates. I enjoy all these tributes coming in. To the entire Nicholson Family, I am thinking of you from afar, and I will certainly be watching the livestream on Thursday. I offer you love and compassion during a difficult time. Take solace in what was said in the obituary: Dave was a true gent. He will be missed by many, myself included.

Sending my heartfelt condolences to the entire Nicholson family. I am truly saddened to learn of Dave's passing. He will always be remembered as a wonderful person. I have been close to Dave, Neil, Bev and Blair as long as I can remember. We were like family, always spending fun times at the baseball field and hockey rink, as well as at each others' homes. Because I live far away, I regretfully am not able to attend the funeral in person. However, I will attend online to join the celebration of Dave's life and be thankful for the kind gifts of his time and abilities he was so happy to provide to his community. Rest in peace, Dave.

Well as I am reading this (although I have been waiting to do so) I vowed I was not going to get teary-eyed or cry ~ well I lied!! There is a long history between both David, Sharron and I both before they married and the 51 years of their marriage. There may have been breaks in those years but we always kept in touch and visited. However, my next visit (and yes I am teary-eyed again), will not be one of my favorite. That having been said, to all family, extended families and friends please know that I extend sincerest condolences. And to David ~ " rest high on that mountain, your work on earth is done". See you on the other side.
