“I had the pleasure of getting to know Dave over the past year. I was new to our office this year, when I arrived Dave was incredibly welcoming and eager to pass on his expertise and help out in any way he could. Over time, I got to know Dave better, we often discussed our shared interest in scuba diving and he told me his best diving stories and shared some of his favorite spots to go. Generally, Dave was an incredibly kind and positive person, he will be greatly missed by everyone here at work.”

“My deepest condolences to the family. I had the pleasure of knowing David for only 3 years when he moved into his home across the road from me. He was the kind of neighbour anyone would want. He always had time for a chat and to help out with any problems I had. He will be sorely missed. Rest in peace David.”
