Sending love to Jane, Kate, Lisa and Jill, along with the extended family. We have fond memories of David - a fabulous man of great humour and compassion. He always flew the Aussie flag during visits to NZ and I had some wonderful trips in both the Triumph and Mini. Loved dearly by Dave and greatly missed. Condolences and love from Dave, Beryl, John and the Lang family in Western Australia. Haere r dear friend.

To you Jane and Family, my thoughts go out to you. No need to tell you Jane but a "mighty Guy", the world is worse off.
I am truly sorry.
