David VELVIN Obituary

..as a student, I remember this gentleman. What a lot he has given to New Zealand. Thank you Dave [and family ] for sharing your life and making such a difference to so many. Thank you. Margaret Scott going ..way back...

Our deepest condolences to the Velvin family. It is with great sadness that I just recently found out of his passing. Dr Dave had been our family doctor for over twenty years until my transfer to Australia in 2013. He was my doctor for the birth of my two girls Alex and Helena and watched them grow over the years. He was kind, thoughtful, friendly and funny and I'm grateful that we had him as our doctor. We will treasure our memories of him. May he Rest In Peace.

Rita, Alex and Helena

David was a special human being and an amazing doctor who I trusted for over 30 years with my health and wellbeing. He has been in our thoughts since we moved out of Wellington and it's with sadness that we now acknowledge his passing. David will be missed by many, there is no doubt - Burn Family, New Plymouth

A respected classmate. I wish I had got to know him better. Dick Sainsbury

Sue and family, I'm so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was my children's GP when they were little and there was nobody else I would trust more with their care. I was always so appreciative of his excellent medical care and enjoyed the many long chats we would have at the end of a consultation. As a new Mum, he always put me at ease and was incredibly kind and thoughtful. Rest in peace Dave.

Sorry to hear of Dr Dave's passing. He was a wonderful doctor and I am grateful for the many years he was my and our two boys doctor. May he rest in peace.

Sue and Family, we were so sad to hear of Dave's passing. He was a lovely man and a wonderful GP to 4 generations of my family. My grandparents, Barbara and Jack Christie were extremely grateful for all the wonderful care Dave gave them, including some much appreciated home visits. The whole Bain family have benefited from his excellent experience and finally, my husband Mark and my daughters Laura and Rachel would like to add our condolences to the many. Dave was our wonderful GP and Sue, always a smiling face when on the reception desk. May he rest in peace.

Sue and Family, please accept our heartfelt sympathy with Dave's passing. He delivered all 3 of our children, with special care and support for Hayley. May he Rest in Peace.

Sue and family, please accept our deepest sympathy on Dave's passing. He delivered our son David 34 years ago, and has been a wonderful GP ever since. He is sadly missed

My thoughts and wishes are with you at this time. Dave delivered both Peter and Tim (Howman). He was a lovely human being and had all the qualities you would ever want in a doctor. May he rest in peace.

Sue and family, so so sorry to hear of Dave's death -
we shall always remember that lovely smiley face of his and his vibrant personality - we are thinking of you all. Sue and Jim McKinlay and families.

19 years ago I visited Dr Dave with an odd left arm and a spot of breathlessness. I got home 14 days later - quad bypass completed. I was very lucky to have him as our family doctor. My daughter is well on her way to herself qualifying as a doctor, inspired in no small way by Dr Dave. Thanks Dave - RIP.

A good man, gone too soon but now resting in peace. God bless. Love and sympathy to Sue and family, we are thinking of you in your sorrow, and remembering Dave's big smile and warm heart.

Dr Velvin--Dr Dave--delivered my son over 30 years ago. There was something deeply mystical and spiritual about the way he gently held my baby and placed him in my arms. A new Mum in the same delivery suite felt similarly. God has Dr Dave in his arms now. He was one of God's Healers.

Very sad - Dr Dave was our treasured GP for over 20 years and his efforts in providing expert advice for the many Wellington sports teams was outstanding. Our sincere condolences to Sue & family. Diana & Fred Goodall.

So sad to hear of Dr Dave's passing..he was a wonderful doctor to my family and his genuine interest and care over 30 years was very much appreciated...Dr Dave you are missed.

Sue and family very sad to hear of Dave's passing our thoughts are with you.
