KILLMAN, David
(Dave to his mates):
21.10.1959 - 25.11.2019
Moto Guzzi enthusiast, model railway hobbyist, glasswork craftsman, with a respect and compassion for animals. David passed away peacefully, with family by his side, a difficult journey has now ended. Lovingly supported by Mum (Eileen), Dad (Harold), Sis (Ruth) and Euan. Generously kept on his Moto Guzzi travels by so many friends and compassionate medical professionals to whom we are so very, very grateful. Special thanks to his Moto Guzzi mates, Pam for her unpredictable birthday candles, Sasha Moore, Dr Liz Scott, and so many more wonderful people. A private cremation, at David's request, took place on Wednesday, November 27. A celebration of David's love for life will take place but nothing definate yet. In lieu of flowers please send donations to SPCA, Fred Hollows Foundation or Blind and Low Vision NZ.
An amazing battler, stubborn, determined and always
in charge.
Watch those corners David as you take off on your Guzzi – happy travels.

I hope I am not out of order with a case of mistaken identity, but believe this is the same David Killman that I worked with in the Locomotive Division at the Railways.
If I recall correctly David bought his first(?) Moto Guzzi while we were in the Trainee School in 1978. We used to tease him that it spent more time in the repair shop than on the road, however we where impressed as it had a direct driveshaft rather than a chaindrive.
I liked working with Dave back then...he seemed to be a good dude....so sorry to hear of his passing.
