In Memory of Dave Slade (1930-2010)

It is with much sadness that Soccer City (Etobicoke) Inc. wishes to inform you of the passing of Dave Slade on July 5, 2010

 A celebration of Dave’s life took place on Saturday July 10, 2010.

Dave first became involved in Soccer City in 1990.  His commitment to both indoor and outdoor soccer included not only taking on a Management role at Soccer City but also as a shareholder.  Dave’s knowledge and love of soccer was apparent to all those who knew him.  His charming smile and stories of the “old days” will remain in our fondest memories.   After his retirement, Dave became the morning man at Soccer City, coming in at 5am to open the facility for the sunrise games.  Dave’s son Sandy Slade refereed at soccer city for many years.  If Dave was not networking in the office, you could often find him upstairs in Wingers with a coffee in his hand and a story to share.  He will be sadly missed.

Dave’s devotion to the game was apparent in the countless ways he freely gave of his time, participating on committees, organizing tournaments, supporting clubs and teams and always being there when needed. 

On a personal note, over the past twenty years, Dave has been mentor, confidant, advisor and supporter.   I will sorely miss the hours he and I spent together upstairs in Wingers.

We wish to remember Dave with love and appreciation; for the friend he was and for all of his contributions to the Soccer Community.
