Our heartfelt sympathy in your loss.
From: Ross Murray
Relation: A very good friend from years ago
In the late 50’s and early 60’s Dave and I were good friends.Twig as we knew him was always smiling unless I dropped a pass from him on the football field. I lost touch with Dave over the years but did meet Liz and Dave a few years ago. I will never forget his friendship and am very sorry to hear he has passed away.
From: Brenda (Gold) Gilham
Relation: Mary Street kids
Dear Liz and family,
My heart goes out to you and your family. We haven’t been in touch for a very long time but please extend my heartfelt sympathy to all. I have such great memories of growing up knowing Dave and then later you and Dave as a couple. You were so kind to Mom when she visited out west.
Greg and I were both shocked to hear of Dave’s early death and hope that good memories and family will help you and your family through.
Sincerely,
Brenda
