Thank you Dave for some very happy memories - you had a warmth and a twinkle in your eye that I won't forget, especially when out in the mountains. How you faced such adversity after your accident was truly inspiring and a measure of who you were Ali x

Your nightwatch year at the lodge was a short time a long time ago, but you were a character to remember taking that big grin and going places... a talent on the water too although maybe reluctantly if I remember as clearly the mountains was your passion...

Will always remember the great year we all shared as Nightwatch at Glenmore Lodge (with Leonie & Colin). There were many adventures, big and small, mountain, river and sea- your wonderful spirit, great humour and straight talking continues to live on in so many of us. Counting myself so very fortunate to have shared just a small chapter in your wonderful life's adventure.

Dave, you were always been a true gentleman and a leader - inspirational yet humble, with a great personality and a wry sense of humour. It was a privilege to grow up with you and to share experiences at school, Scouts and beyond. Rest peacefully.
