David Gary "Dave" Saunders – 66, Hilden, passed away Saturday, July 30, 2016, at home, as a result of heart complications. Born in Windsor, he was a son of the late Freeman and Lila (Lively) Saunders.

He moved to Truro as a child and eventually to the farm in Hilden in 1963. Dave was a long-time employee of Brookfield Lumber; he loved getting up early and heading to the woods in the log truck. He was very interested in local history, auto racing and was an avid reader, especially of Louis L’Amour. Dave was one of the original members of "The Hollywoodchucks"; he had many good times at the "Little Branch Fish and Game Society", better known as the Eastville Camp with his long-time friends.

Dave is survived by his brothers, Brian (Heather), Tom, Randy (Sharon), Andrew (Tracy); several aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Along with his parents, he was predeceased by his beloved cat, Lil. We would like to thank EHS and RCMP for their compassionate assistance.

Private family interment has been held in Hilden Cemetery. If so desired, donations in Dave’s memory to SPCA or charity of choice are welcomed. Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro.
