To lynn and family, may I pass on my sincere sympathy to you on the passing of Digger (David). He was a true character and identity in the local community and a well known sportsman and member of the Glenavy cricket team. Many a good battle was had between morven and glenavy. Great times were had and I also had the privilege of working in the shearing shed alongside Digger. RIP mate, a man with humor, wit, and loyalty

One of the greatest men we ever met. We loved our time in Glenavy and Digger was a key part of that. Our young family were embraced by Digger , Lynn and the wider McCulloch clan and we will be forever grateful for the support we received. Digger had a profound impact on us and we were humbled and privileged to have met a man of such integrity. He was at the heart of all things Glenavy and we have such fond memories. All our love to Lynn and the amazing McCullochs.

A special guy. I loved arriving at Digger and Lynnys to hear Digger say `Hello, Kirsty Jean“. Always welcoming and supportive of whatever adventure I was on. His rendition of the Munich rowing 8 at my wedding was a wonderful highlight and showed his love for all sport and a good story. Tracing his Dads footsteps in Le Quesnoy was a special trip and I feel fortunate to have been part of that epic family escapade. Thank you, Digger for the memories and your legacy.
You absolutely lived, laughed and loved.
