Just learned of Dave's sad passing last year. I have many vivid memories of the fun times we had in the Wellington insurance scene during the 70s and 80s, plus many memorable rounds of golf at Shandon on Sunday mornings. Being around Dave was always such fun and all one's problems seemed to disappear as soon as he started his infectious laugh. He was undoubtedly one of a rare breed and my condolences to his family for their sad loss. Will catch up with you again one day Dave.
