Pauline and family I was so sorry to hear you had lost Dave to such a cruel disease. He was a lovely man with a wonderful sense of humour. I was envious of your wonderful relationship. Remember the wonderful times you all shared. Heather

Thinking of you Pauline,and family, at this sad time with the passing of David whom I had great respect and aroha for. We developed a strong friendship as fellow members of the club. I enjoyed being in his company through the banter and tomfoolery between us. We both gave as much as we received. When David had to finish at the club I really missed him. Hence I made sure to visit him at Riverside. I look forward to meeting family at the funeral. Arohanui Ted Normanton
So sorry for your loss please accept our sincere sympathy
