To Helen & Family, we are saddened to hear of Dave's passing. He was such a good bloke to be around and he was always great for some good banter. I loved the times we got to play Golf together too. Rest easy Dave.

It was a real privilege to know Dave. A very special time for us was when he decorated our home. What an utter craftsman Dave was and what a delight it was to share morning and afternoon teas with him. He was great company. We will remember Dave with much fondness and our love goes out to Helen and family.
