Dear Colleen & family, Although I didn't know Dave all that well, I remember him as a hard worker and willing to get on with the job. He also had an amusing and down-to-earth personality. Dave's work will be greatly missed on the trams in town and Ferrymead. With Deepest Sympathy, Roger Comber (THS Member)

Dear Colleen and family, It is with great sadness that I learned of Daves passing. He was certainly a stalwart of the Tramway Historical Society and well known and respected among the various groups at Ferrymead and among the Federation of Railway Organisations of New Zealand groups.

Kind regards

To Dave's family, I was shocked to hear the news on Monday as Dave was a regular visitor to us at Hilton Haulage Timaru and both a good friend and an excellent representative for Palfinger NZ.
Over the last few years Dave has gained a wealth of knowledge on the Palfinger Cranes and became our go to man for fault finding and this will be sadly missed now.
As a Classis Truck owner myself Dave and I had a close friendship via trucks and I looked forward nightly to the many great Truck Photos he posted.
We are all thinking of the family at this time. RIP Dave.
