I am shocked and saddened on hearing of Dave passing away. I enjoyed the short time we worked together. We had some funny times and boy could he dish it out but he could take it as well.. He did his best in what ever he turned his hand to. He loved his family. A great bloke to know.I have some great memories of him. How i wish id caught up with him for one more beer and a chat. You will be missed Dave. Condolences to all of his family. Paul.
