Dave! One of my best mates from the Psych Nurse training days at the old Sunnyside Hospital. You had a unique sense of humour, an inquiring mind, a natural sense of doing and standing up for what was right. I also remember some great parties at your place in Torrens Road. We nearly met up again in 2005 for our class reunion I had arranged, but then at the last minute you had to cover a shift at work. Duty / doing what was right came first. It has been wonderful being Facebook friends in recent years and seeing your travels and other adventures. I will never forget you. Rest easy.

It was such a privilege to have you as a mentor and also as a friend. I will always remember your wise words, kind smile, and bright laugh.

Rest well...

A few years since we had seen you, but happy memories of the take-away dinners we shared, the after marathon celebrations and the Saturday and Sunday laughs we had while cooking together.
RIP Dave
Your family are in our thoughts.

The years seem to have flown but sadden to read of Dave's death. Rest in peace.
Many memories of PMH and the Sunnyside school of nursing in the 80's.
