Saw Dave at Castor 100 yr homecoming. We included photos from Parents and siblings, as well as Dave & Annie Wilkie, and
Andy & Hazel Wilkie. Great homecoming - the long weekend was most enjoyable and great to see Castor
2011 - Dave called me to say the final court case involving his Son "Bussie" was finalized and Bussie was sentenced to 2 yr at Spy Hill Jail, Calgary. I know very few details of the accident but do remember hearing one of the accident victims had to have their leg amputated as a result of the injuries. No loss of life, but certainly life altering changes to some individuals.
Feb 26, 2011 - Telephoned Dave - we chatted about many things but mainly about his Son Bussie in Spy Hill Jail. Apparently the appeal papers have been submitted, Bussie is using Legal Aide help from Calgary in addition to his lawyer in Red Deer. I asked Dave to review the accident - and he says his Son was driving the 'big truck' & 'trailor" unit - approaching 56th (Stettler), he checked traffic, saw one vehicle distance away and nothing in the other direction; when he came to the intersection, he did a 'rolling stop' and again felt he had time to cross. That wasn't the case. The van and the truck unit collided - resulting in serious injuries to people in the van. Dave is vehement there wasn't any alcholol involved. Court actions at the time resulted in the 'loss of Bussie's drivers license, thus he was unable to keep working, loss of income to him personally but he also helped his parents Dave & Mae with house payments as Bussie stayed with them when not on the road trucking. Bussie obviously required legal / lawyer help - so bills were mounting, ultimately resulting in the jail sentence. Dave at this time doesn't know if he will be able to maintain living in his home in Stettler as it is mortgaged - he only has his Old Age Pension and with Mae deceased, no income from her now either. A couple of nights prior to the truck incident, Bussie was driving a friend out to Gas Plant to drop off some keys, on the way back to Stettler, they hit a deer - severely damaged the car, but no injuries to the passengers. Pushed car onto driveway area but police kept phoning him to remove the vehicle from the road. Dave again intervened and arranged for a tow truck etc.
2018 - Dave Easton moved from Stettler to Castor - In Seniors Living Manor, Enjoying the company very much
