David HAMES Obituary

Blardy sad news, was great work mate/boss.
Typical humble Dave always said his 3 girls at home the real bosses (he was just the token male).
Rest easy my friend
Nui te aroha e te whanau

So sad to hear this, Dave was a caring and fun loving work mate. One fantastic guy that will surely be missed. Condolences and best wishes to Gilian and girls, my thoughts are with you. xx Sonia

So saddened and shocked to hear about Dave, taken from us way to soon. I will miss out chats and laughs at work over the past 20 years, you were always someone who could be relied on and always there for others. His family meant the world to him, sending love and my condolences to Gillian, his girls and wider family. Remembered always Jo xx

Dave was a wonderful work colleague. Kind and friendly, he was a delight to know. It was a shock to hear of his passing and I send thoughts to his family at this sad time.

Dave was a great public servant for this country. A real lynchpin in IRD investigations. Sad to see him go too soon. His work colleagues will miss him greatly.

Dave was my lovely desk buddy in the Asteron building. I enjoyed his kind and helpful ways and his wonderful sense of humour - but mostly it was great to have a trustworthy, nice person to chat to about work and life. He always spoke so proudly and warmly of his family who clearly meant everything to him. Sending aroha and my condolences to you all, Cheryl

I can't believe you have left us Dave! My heart, along with many others, is broken. Such a lovely, kind and caring man who loved his girls and Gillian immensely. We'll now only have memories to treasure, and treasure them we will. Much aroha to Gillian & family xxx

Thinking of you Dave's family - he was so proud of you all and really treasured you all.
A true gentleman and so kind and our lives and workplace are richer for having had Dave in them.
Dave will be missed so much!
My thoughts and sympathies are with you all
Love Amanda

Dave, I will sorely miss you, more than words can say. You're a gem and gave so much to so many.
My deepest sympathy to your family.
Love Lynda

So sad to hear this. Dave was a lovely person who I thoroughly enjoyed working with at IR. Heartfelt condolences to Gillian and his girls.

So sad, I worked with Dave-he was always caring and wise and a gentleman. Nothing was ever too much. My thoughts are with you.
