I first met Dave when I started at CPL in 1999. We stayed in touch after we both left CPL. We shared a love of football (LFC for me and West Ham for Dave). I was very sad to hear of Dave's passing he was a lovely man and I feel privileged to have known him. RIP Dave YNWA.

So sad to hear of your passing Dave. I will really miss our little chats on reception at the Cancer Society. We really appreciated your cheeky smile and friendly nature that brightened up the kitchen. You were an important part of our Cancer Society family and always gave generously to us. Thank you. It won't be the same around here without you. My thoughts go out to all of your friends and family at this time. So pleased that you got to go on one last holiday. Rest in peace. Best wishes from Christina
