David A. Argenta
OAKVILLE – David A. Argenta, age 75, passed away at the VITAS Inpatient Hospice Unit of Saint Mary’s Hospital on Jan. 8, 2021, after a very brief but valiant fight with esophageal cancer.
David was born Aug. 17, 1945, to Veronica (Dagenais) and Joseph Argenta Sr., and spent his childhood in Middlebury. In the 1960s, the family moved to Oakville; he attended Watertown High School where he made many lifelong friends and met the love of his life, Lynne Hanson.
He asked her to marry him under the South Street Bridge, and they were married April 29, 1967, at St. Mary Magdalen Church in Oakville. Their daughter, Laura, came 13 years later, and they were inseparable.
Thank you Ottawa
Each year during the holiday season, CBC Ottawa hosts Project Give, a special day of storytelling and charitable giving in support of the Ottawa Food Bank.
Social Sharing

Once again, Ottawa has shown kindness and generosity in the face of adversity.
On Friday, Dec. 11, CBC Ottawa hosted Project Give, its annual charity drive in support of the Ottawa Food Bank. The day began with special programming on 91.5FM with Ottawa Morning and All in a Day, and rounded out with TV broadcasts, CBC Ottawa News at 6 and Late Night. Throughout the day, we met the people who are sharing food and acts of kindness when it matters more than ever. There was live music, kindness calls to deserving listeners from notable Canadians, zoom drop ins and get togethers, music mashups with local artists, an overwhelming demand for CBC Ottawa Kindness Calendar and much more.

Naturally connecting with other like-minded people who share the similar passions can be difficult in any environment, but the process has been even more challenging this year, due to international health and political concerns. But longtime friends and musical collaborators, vocalist and instrumentalist, Victor Nesrallah, and his fellow instrumentalist, Danny Artuso, have organically bonded so well for over 30 years that they have finally released their first full-length album, ‘Wearing The Blues.’
