We regret to advise of the death of Lieutenant Colonel William David Pollard, CD,  P. Eng. (Ret’d) at home in Esquimalt, BC on 15 September 2016.

Born in 1935, Dave served a full career as a Canadian Military Engineer Officer. Posting highlights included Base Construction Engineering Officer (BCEO) at Canadian Forces Base Valcartier, QC (1966-68), BCEO CFB North Bay, ON (1967-70) BCEO CFB Esquimalt, BC (1975-77) and Base Technical Services Officer CFB Borden, ON.

In retirement, Dave retired in Esquimalt yet returned each summer to the Muskoka cottage he built on his grandparents' acreage. Among his many activities, such as backpacking, sailing, theatre and symphony concerts, and restoring a vintage Riley One-Point-Five, David particularly enjoyed luncheons with his retired military engineer friends and being part of the Old English Car Club. He was an active participant in the Canadian Military Engineer Association. ^(khSep2016}
