Thoughts and Memories of David Dewar
I am now a retired police officer with The Toronto Police Service (Canada) Dave was assigned to look after our cricket team taking part in the World Police Cricket Featival in Perth . Never had the pleasure to meet him but he will always be in my heart and remembered . A trophy in his honour was immediately struck by myself and Peter Pottoff and Michael Sedgman .
This August 2019 WAPCC and TPCC will be meeting in Worcester, England to take part in another police tournament being hosted by Worcestershire City Police and we plan to honour Dave Dewar .
Gone but will never be forgotten
