Big hug to you aunty Ethna . I have such fond memories of uncle Dave, driving on the range and trying to find our way on all the twists and turns of the logging roads in search of the infamous cows that were ” just up the road a short ways” , we laughed and wondered if we’d get lost . He never got too excited and always found humor in the crazy cow chasing situations. Love ya uncle, you’re missed already.

Dear Auntie Ethna and Family, please accept our heartfelt sympathy. Uncle Dave will be missed, Rick has fond memories of Uncle Dave and his horse, Rosie. May the fond memories you all share bring you comfort. Rick & Pat
Our heartfelt condolences to you Ethna and family on Dave’s passing. He was a true gentleman in the very best sense of the word – cheerful, positive and so friendly and although quiet and somewhat reserved he could be very funny in the moment.. I treasure the recent visit I had with him when I visited him in hospital. Thank you Ethna for the opportunity to participate on-line at the funeral service – we so wish times were more normal so all of us in the Irish community here could be there in person to share your grief and give you a great big hug.. We are all there for you now and in future days. Stay safe and stay strong!.
