David Alfred Porteous

Missing you so much.......

I feel very sad about you leaving us Dave, but I have many fond memories, particularly dancing with you. And you lived your life as you danced, quite beautifully. Thank you for all that you have been to so many of us.

Thank you for all the many years of wonderful memories and laughs for not only myself but for also my kids. We've been truly blessed to have you in our lives.
Uncle Dave you will be deeply missed but never forgotten. xo
Love Denise, Allysha and Nicholas

Dave... What an honour to have known such a wonderful person. A kind, gentle man, proud of his clan and loving wife. I will always remember the twinkle in his eye, his great sense of humour, and his marvellous hugs! Love lives on in the hearts of all who remember and care. I will miss you Dave. Love Nicky (and Steve).

It has been an honor to have known Dave. Compassionate, consoling mentor and never a discouraging word. And that ever present since of humor. A true gentle-man. He will be missed but never forgotten. His legacy will live at Lochdale.

We are so sorry for your loss and touched by the beautiful photos selected for the on-line video. Jan your dads heart shines right through these photos.
All our Love,
Aron, Monica, Cole and Paige

Dear Dave

Thankyou Dave for greeting me at the door so many times and putting me at ease. You helped so many people by your example and you always kept it simple. Those times when i was struggleing you just said ...Keep coming back . Then i started a new career with a company only to be sent to your house to help with a water line and it was your house. You were the father in law of the owner of the company i was and still am working for . So many times i returned on offical business and was able to give back . God bless Dave and thankyou

yours Raymond Jones
