Very sad to hear of Dave's passing - my condolences to Tim and all the family.
Dave introduced me to Senior football in Stratford in 1973 along with several other Eltham youth players and then a couple of years later, was instrumental in starting the Eltham Association Football Club. Great vivid memories of those times, on and off the pitch.
Rest in peace Dave.

I'll always treasure the good times had with Dave and Margaret. The tennis court, the lively discussions and laughter. Dave was a friend and a mentor. He was widely respected and liked within the veterinary profession and his contribution to Eltham Vets and the people who worked there will not be forgotten. Rest easy mate.
