We were deeply sorry to hear of David´s passing and many memories of David, his sister Atanui, and their parents when we all grew up in Karitane in the 1950´s and in later years were recalled.
We send our sincere sympathy to David´s family, many friends, and to the Kati Huirapa Runaka ki Puketeraki at Karitane on the loss of their chief.
David was a special man and will be greatly missed by all.
