Gail and family -  I was fortunate to move across the street in Fort Saskatchewan in 1996.   Over the years,  we were able to share many neighborly chats.   David was always so positive and caring, even during the times he was seriously ill.  

After snow storms, he was always one of the first to be out in the yard clearing the snow for himself and Gayle and then other neighbors in the cul-de-sac.

I am honored that he gave me advice and friendship over these past years and am truly saddened by his passing.

My sympathies to Gayle and the entire family.

Me and my hockey grandpa. Even when I was little we always talked hockey. This even includes the dark times when I liked the Sharks more than the Oilers because the logo was cooler. I'll think of my grandpa every time I watch the Oilers and will miss chatting with him about them. — with David Huff and Taleana Huff

Dear Gail an family

Our deepest sympathy to all of you on Dave's death.  Dave will always be remembered for his soft spoken voice and also pleasant smile and wonderful talks.  How we all look forward to the promises the Bible holds out for us in the paradise and the resurrection of all our loved ones where we will all enjoy life in perfection  without sickness and pain.  Theocratic love,  Gloria Andriatz and family 

Mrs Huff and family

Peace be with you during this temporary parting of your husband and father. I only met Dave a few times at Josie and Peter's but I always knew that I was in the presence of a truly humble and kind person. His loving kindness for all that he met was manifested in his smile and countenance. Condolences to all his family.

To Gayle and family,

So sorry for such a tremendous loss. Please know we are praying for your family to find comfort in each other and have strength from Jehovah. 

Sincerely, The Maurer’s 

Nobody could have a better rating on the “nice scales”. He will be remembered for how he treated us as young ones in the cong with such love, he truly understood the meaning and role of a shepherd. It is rare to find such a brilliant brain with such admirable humility and kindness. So sorry for your loss.

So sorry to learn of your dad’s passing. Dave was my boss on several occasions. I started working for the government in 1967 in Red Deer and your Dad was my boss. I was so disappointed when he moved to Edmonton. Little did I know I would transfer to Edmonton a couple years later, again working for Dave. In 1983 I transferred back to Edmonton again working for your Dad. Dave was the best boss I had in all my govt jobs. He was great to work for, had integrity, and had a great sense of humour. 

Ask your Mom if she remembers Dee Jessiman (RCMP) dropping off a couple of goats at your acreage outside of Red Deer. Dee came into the office to visit your Dad and casually mentioned that he had left a couple of Billy Goats for him. After he left, your Dad said Dee was just pulling his leg. Dee had tried to convince your dad that you had to have animals when you lived in the country. We finally convinced him that he should probably check with Gayle as he might be the new owner of a pair of goats. Well he was!!  

I hope your Dad had a wonderful retirement. I will always remember him fondly. May he rest in peace. 

I had the pleasure of working with Dave for many years when he was the Director of the Edmonton Law Courts. It seems that no matter how busy he was, he would always make time for anyone that wanted to see him.

I always think that Dave's strong suit was his ability to re-enforce in each of us,  the importance that each individual unit within the Law Courts Building played in the administration of justice in the Province of Alberta.

REST IN PEACE, DAVE!!

Hector MacDonald

To Gayle and family,

Please accept my deepest sympathies on your loss of dear Dave.

I will always remember how kind he was to me and my family over the many years we were in the Fort together.  He had a wonderful smile, and great laugh.  

May you find peace in the God of all Comfort until you meet again.   

We grew up in the same congregation with the Huff family, sharing good times and sharing trials.  We loved Dave and we loved his family.   Dave made you feel like family with his capacity for love and empathy.  He will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege to know him.  We share your grief and our hearts go out to Gayle, Chris and Teesha and your families.

My condolence in the loss of Dave.

Dave was my mentor and a good friend at the court house. Dave always had time to share a visit with staff, whether it be a greeting,  a joke or just to chat. I appreciated the many years working for him.

We are truly sorry for your loss. Our hearts are broken. We can not imagine how heartbroken you & the family are. They really are no words. 

 Dave was so special & lived what he preached & taught. Alway kind, honest & made you feel you mattered. 

all the times I spent in service with Dave & Gayle always meant the world to me. They balanced each well. I smile thinking of the conversations we had. Their faith & courage in keeping on keeping on despite trials was an inspiration. A fine example of faith & reliance on Jehovah. 

I do have one memory to share. Dave & I were in service many years ago & the cranes were coming through. He told me how he would lay in the fields & watched the Cranes fly overhead instead of working. So every time the Cranes come through, spring & fall, I think of Dave. Cause I never took notice of them before that day. 

Dave would also tuck little notes in our Kingdom Ministry back in the day. I still have a couple of them tucked away as reminders. He would check regularly to make sure we were doing ok as family, especially at meetings. My boys adored Dave. 

We long for the time we will be reunited in the resurrection. May Jehovah help you endure during this very difficult & emotional time. 

How sad we were  to hear that our beloved friend, Dave, has gone to sleep, after years of battling disease to see the end of this system ....  

Although it may have been expected,  this hurts so much .. and we share your tears and pain as individuals and as a family 😪 ....  "Death" carries a sting regardless and we send our condolences to Gayle as well as Chris and Teesha and all of your family ....

Even as you do, we long for that time when Dave will stand up again when his name is called .. and that time is just around the corner ....  Until then, how nice it is to know that Dave is alive and vibrant in Jehovah's eyes .. and in His memory (the safest place anyone can ever be) - Luke 20: 37,38 ....

We enjoyed many good times with Dave and Gayle; -- I really appreciated the chats with Dave as we shared time as shepherds among the sheep of a congregation ....  I learned much from his genuine interest in people of all backgrounds .. and from his ability to listen to the plight of others ....  We worked together very well and I look forward to doing so once again soon ....

Until then, please know that all of you are within our thoughts .. and pray that Jehovah's rich comfort surround you like a warm blanket on a cold night to strengthen you during this time of grief ....

We care for and love all of you ....

So very sorry to hear  this sad news.  Bro Huff was the sweetest Brother ever.  Big hugs to Gail and all his family.  Love, Ann Marie

Gayle and family, so sorry to hear of Brother Huff’s passing. I remember when our family moved from Ontario and settled in Red Deer, Brother Huff was such a great help to us, especially to my Mom. He was always ready to help out with genuine caring. I always treasured the times with him and when he  was in Sherwood Park, he would stop by to see me on the farm at Uncas. Soon we will see him again! 💕

Sincere condolences to the Huff family.  Brother Huff has always been known  to my sisters and I, as Brother Huff.  :)  We have never forgotten the kindness he showed when our father passed away and he conducted the funeral service for us.  He seemed to ease our hearts with his words.  Although we never continued in the truth, Brother Huff was one of the Elders that we never forgot about.  He was a very kind and caring man and will never be forgotten.

My heart and thoughts are with you at this sad time. 

With Respect.

Lisa (Chasse) Morrison

My sincere condolences to all of your family!  No words can express the kindness & love Dave and his family showed to all!  I have fond memories of Dave - from giving our wedding talk when I married Doug (and Teesha as our flower girl) to carpooling to work at the Court House with Su and Ken, being our neighbour and also a loving brother in the congregation.   

What a wonderful time it will be when we will welcome all our loved ones back to a Paradise on earth!!  

 Much love to Gayle, Teesha, Chris and families!! ❤️

There are no words to truly say what Dave meant to me as friend, professionally and to our family. He led by example in all areas of his life and truly was someone who "walked the walk" and always wanted to learn and do things better. He always showed kindness in a very unkind world and had a gift for seeing the best in people and bringing that out. Because of his warm and engaging personality perhaps it sometimes was lost what a brilliant legal mind he had and how truly knowledgeable he was. I tried to instill the values and ethics that I learned from Dave in my own sons and I am forever grateful for the experience and the years I shared with him. We were a great team! He will leave a large hole in many, many hearts which would be unbearable if we didn't know we are going to see him again soon. Love to Gayle and family.

Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Gayle, and to all the family. We were so sorry to hear about David’s falling asleep in death. He was such a kind, helpful, loving brother.  I enjoyed working along with him, and learned much from him, during the years we were in Sherwood Park. We so look forward to seeing him again SOON.  Bernie & Linda Parkinson

My so very dear and loved uncle Dave...you have now found peace, resting comfortably in the loving and perfect care of our heavenly father, Jehovah. May Jehovah remember your faithfulness, love and devotion as a devoted servant of his. We will keep you alive in our hearts until we can see you reunited once again with your precious boy, Clint. And may auntie Gayle, Teesha and Chris be there when you are all finally reunited only to cry tears of joy and comfort for at least one thousand years. The heartache and burdens you carried will be lifted forever, replaced by an eternal peace you all so deserve. Oh how we long to hear you laugh along with Clint and Chris, to see Teesha's beautiful smile as she looks upon her loving father and mother relaxing in warm sunshine. And may we all once again return back to those carefree days of family gatherings, chatter, laughter and good food without a care. And we will once again shovel off the pond, put our skates on and chase a puck around the ice beneath blue skies, biting cold and burning lungs only to lose it repeatedly in the cattails. All will be there. It is hard to be patient, but the good times to come in perfect health and perfect paradise will be well worth the endurance. And yes, uncle Dave you will make me another willow whistle and then we will go chokecherry picking...just you and I. Love you more than you know, more than we honestly conveyed. We will not fail at this a second time. Much love my dear uncle. Hugs for auntie Gayle, Teesha and Chris. 

We were at Peters and Josie's for lunch as we did often so grateful for every visit we had with Dave and Gayle (Arnold&Wanda)

Sending condolences to Gayle and family. We never had any neighbours better than them.  Fond memories of the neighborhood.  Can’t wait to welcome Dave and Dave back in the new system.  We always enjoyed our conversations and he always gave great advice.  Keep close to Jehovah and he will help you through these hard times 

Our sincere sympathy for your loss of a kind and real gentleman, may God give you strength during this time of grief.

Gayle and Family: Sorry to hear the loss of David. My prayers are with you and your family at this time. You will see David in the resurrection. 

I have so many fond memories of going out in service with Dave & Gayle.  In fact, I selfishly wanted to go out with only them whenever Derek and I would go out in service after the book study Saturday mornings.  My almost 13 years in the same congregation with them was far too short and we have missed them terribly ever since we moved to Arizona.  He always was available to listen, offer good advice and give comfort when I  was going through hard times.  When I married Derek and moved to the Fort your Dad and Mom kind of took me under their wings and I grabbed hold of them both and cherish them both.  I am so very sorry for your huge loss and am crying right along with you.  I will hold onto these memories too until we see him again soon....can't wait to see him in paradise!!!  You all are in our thoughts & prayers.  Stay strong...it's just around the corner!
