My deepest sympathy to Audrey and the Johnston family. I first met Dave in 1989 when I joined Highland Valley Copper. At the time he was part of the management committee from Cominco. It was through his support that the management committee invested millions in making HVC one of the safest, most efficient and profitable mines in Canada. Dave later became President of HVC. Dave's style of management was empowerment and through his coaching the mine was a pleasure to work in and to strive for improvement. I was proud to be part of that team. I worked in the mining industry for 40 years under many leaders. Dave was by far the most intelligent and capable man I ever met. Thankyou Dave. Rest in Peace Bob Caines

I've seen nothing of David since we graduated from Skeena High school in Terrace in 1957. In our teens we were mutually involved in a number of youthful shenanigans. I look forward to chatting about those good old days when I join Dave 'way up there.' If I get lucky. David performed wonders with the shot put and discus on the sports field. Not a speedster like his brother Paul but a powerful lad. I have fond thoughts of visiting the family farm in the bush outside Terrace. Milked my first cow. Learned how to muck out the barn. And when Ma Johnston rang the triangle at the back of the house...there was a stampede of many feet making a bee-line for the extra large wooden table where meals were served. I can still smell the fresh from the oven bread smothered with churned butter. I wish I'd spent time with both David and brother Paul as adults. But the compass sent us in different directions. C'est la vive. RIP David and condolences to the family. John Foster, White Rock, B.C.
