I have very happy memories of meeting Dave many years ago in a Firefighter local pub in Wellington. Was a great night with you Angela, Dave and Philippa. My deepest sympathies to you, you have lost a good man. My heart is with you.

A true gentleman and a pleasure to work with. I had the pleasure of working with Dave on projects for the supply of fire appliances to Canberra and other fire authorities. It was always an enjoyable experience. My condolences to Ange and his family.

To Angie and all Dave's family. Our condolences on your loss. Dave's passing will leave a huge hole in everyone's lives. I have been thinking of a memory or two to share, but my overriding memory of our many adventures would be that Dave always "gave" without expecting anything. He would just be there, making breakfast, networking with everyone and just being DAVE. I'm sure you'll all know what I mean. Irreplaceable, so lucky to have been able to have known and spent so much time with you Dave. Your memory will always be with us and Inspire us to be happier people.
