“I am truly saddened to hear about the passing of Deputy Mayor David Ell. David served with integrity and honour. As mayor and as a friend, I wish to offer my sincere condolences on behalf of the city and our citizens to his family for the loss of a much loved and respected man. David was a big man with a big heart and he will be greatly missed by many.”
