Those who knew Dave know not much has to be said to sum him up. Those who knew Dave loved him — his sense of humour and dry wit made it hard not to. Anyone could tell you a story about a time when he spouted something original that cracked them up. Where he derived his one-of-a-kind one-liners from we’ll never know, but we do know we’ll miss them. Dave will be missed dearly.
