Aug 18, 2024Saddened to hear of the passing of Dave. We had many fun times at scouting activities. Dave was always able to make one laugh. He was also so knowledgeable and helpful to the pack. Dave also made the meetings more enjoyable and exciting even when we set of the church alarm. Rest in Peace! You will be missed.

Aug 16, 2024I am saddened by the passing of Dave. He was such a kind person. We were in some of the same classes as i was at Park Street back in the 60s. His family are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. Gone too soon! Isabelle Launchbury
