We have been thinking of you all since Dave came into the Ohakune Bookshop to tell me of his diagnosis and in hearing of his passing.
We always enjoyed Dave's visits and hearing about his latest adventures. A true gentleman.
deepest sympathy to you Jill and your family

He was an awesome step son and brother.

Davids passing is a time of sorrow but it is also a time of celebrating an amazing life, which no one can deny, David had. Jill, Alan, Jon and family, you are a strong unit and will celebrate his amazingness.
To my brother from a different father, I am grateful I got to know you for at least half our lives and found we had so much in common. It´s probably true that as a young man I was influenced by your success and what a man can do when determined. The contribution you made to the forestry industry for example will be well remembered I´m sure and I was proud when people talked about what Waratah Engineering had created and I´d say, `That was my brother who did that".
Dave your passing is a hard pill to swallow but as time goes on you´ll remain part of all our memories.

Dave, mate I wish we had not lived so far from each other but I really appreciated and loved it when you called, me out of the blue for nothing more than a chat.
May you rest in peace bro.

My brother Dave went too early. He was an innovator with tremendous energy and foresight. To Jill, Alan, Jon, Kirsten and grandbabies, we feel your pain. We have wonderful memories which we treasure. His sense of humor and his love of a good joke, (and a good wine) is something we will always remember. We all loved him, he will remain in our hearts forever.

For Dave my big brother.
Will miss your cheeky grin and the love you had for me. Denise Cochrane

In loving memory of my brother David. You will be sadly missed by all those who loved you. May you rest in peace.
