In 2006, I was visiting a family member at a hospital in London and while walking down the hall I ran into a lady I knew from church who was very distraught, which I found quite unusual for her. She hugged me and asked if I would come with her to pray. Her son had been in a serious car accident and was in ICU. That son was Constable Dave Mounsey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On October 14th 2006, Dave was enroute to a vehicle roll over when he lost control of his cruiser, due to the ice and snow covered roads. He sadly passed away just a few weeks later, on the date of this posting, November 13th.<\/p>\n

We are going to remember Dave today on our podcast, with his close friend Patrick Armstrong<\/strong>, police officer and veteran, who along with an incredible group of Dave’s friends and colleagues, formed the\u00a0Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund<\/strong> in 2009, with the mandate to donate and promote the use of life-saving defib units to public access buildings and to place them in the name of fallen Law Enforcement, Fire EMS and Military members killed in the line of duty.<\/p>\n

Patrick and I will talk about: what it’s like to be a cop in 2023, volunteering, serving, veterans, Remembrance Day and why it’s so important to remember<\/em>. We’ll end the show this week with with a reading of John McCrae’s famous poem,\u00a0In Flanders Fields<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

While today’s conversation may seem a little weightier than some weeks, I believe it’s important. Much of the discussion is fundamental to the very foundation of the lives we lead here in Midwestern Ontario and in Canada … Lives that are good.<\/p>\n
