The world has lost an incredible life.
To Trish our warmest condolences at this difficult time. Our heart and deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. Dave was the nicest person you could ever meet. When we were younger he used to come over to our neighbours the McDonalds and he would meet up with all the boys, (David McDonald, Greg, Johnathan, Peter and Gregory (buzz) and Dave Drake, would head out to parties in the old Rover that they all jointly bought and restored together. Rest in Peace Dave
From the Bourke Family.
