'Our Dave'
I have only ever know my Sister Pauline as part of a twosome 'Paul and Dave' and if I could sum Dave up in a few words it would be family, rugby and holidays.
Dave once said he loved the sixties because he met and married Pauline (Paul), he loved the music and he played his best Rugby.
Dave loved our Paul with a rare devotion, most the songs he listened to were about love and cherishing and that's what he did with Paul and all his family, always having a joke even in lockdown 'help get me out of here'. I only knew Dave as a gent to the end, he almost got into a fight just a few years ago defending a lady driver who was being abused by an angry cyclist. I always felt safe when Dave was around, he made you feel that way. I used to say ' no-one messes with our Dave!
Best of all Dave loved his holidays and family holidays were his favourite where he could relax and be himself. I have great memories of our family holidays, beach in the mornings and poolside in the afternoon where usually I would be thrown into the pool by Dave, there was no escape ☺️. Dave enjoyed the sunshine and having a beer or two and I hope you are raising your glass up in heaven. I will just miss your funny jokes and you being like a big brother to me and so supportive of our family especially when my Mum and Dad died. Thank you and I will miss you lots Dave. Love you XXX
