Tributes

Dave, It's so sad to see you go but we know your beloved Jean will be waiting for you. Thank you so much for all of the help you have given us over the years, we have treasured your friendship and will always continue to do so. We will smile when we think of you, your sense of humour was great and always had us in fits of laughter! Gosh we will miss that! Your kindness, empathy and generosity was always on display for all to see, very genuine! We shall miss your hilarious tales, twinkly eyes and cheeky grin. It was great that you came to see us a few weeks ago to give us some advice on a home maintenance issue, your wisdom was truly appreciated. To Dave's children and grandchildren, you were truly blessed to have Dave as a father and grandfather, he was so very proud of you all. With love. x
