Dave was the definition of 'a legend'. We feel incredibly priviledged to have known him and shared a dear friendship.
Dave actually died on Tuesday 2nd Feb after a short illness. The funeral was held yesterday - the crematorium was packed and gave testament to what an amazing man he was, who had touched the life of every person there and many more. Heath, Paul, Pat and Roger played the tunes that Dave wanted. It was a moving service, followed by the wake which we know that Dave would have approved of! There was singing, playing, laughter and tears.
Diane and Hannah can always be proud of Dave and the joy he brought to all our lives.
We loved you Dave and miss you so much. We will always remember you.
