Dear Corinne and family ( and a special 'hello' to Dee ) I heard with sadness about Dave's passing, from my son-in-law who is in the NP Fire Service. My thoughts and prayers go to you all. He will leave a big gap in your lives and no-one can replace a Dad and husband of so many years. I know this place where I live will have many happy memories for you so I wanted you to know that I'm aware of that too. With my love Prue Francis.

Dear Corrine and Family. Sincerest condolences on the loss of Dave. I have very fond memories of Dave as a work colleague and ex neighbour of Mum and Dad. His favourite thing to do was sweep his hand over my desk and wipe all my work off so I didn't have to do it. Lovely and funny man who will be sadly missed by many people and a very proud Dad and Grandad.

To Shane and extended family, sincere condolences for your loss. Dave was one of my first customers when i started in the safety industry over 15 years ago. We quickly formed a personal relationship and business was always professional, but easy. Dave knew what he wanted! Many many conversations about family and sport, full of advice and a heart of gold truly one of the nicest and hard working blokes I've met. Rest In Peace old friend.
