RIP Dave, my condolences to all the family. Dave was one of the regular crew on the Mobi Yacht Nirimba and we all had such good times. Miss you Dave.

For those not inclined to watch the hour-long online 'live streaming event', I've created the slideshow below, hopefully capturing the essence of the occasion.



A few quick notes:

After the initial 9 slides (featuring the mourners and obituaries, separated by a tribute slide to Dave,) from Slide #10, I've selected around half of the images from
the family's multimedia show of some of the highlights of Dave's life, starting with his Naval career...

Slide #5 (...which I've blown up for you, below...)
Front row, Dave's family, l-r, grandson River with his Dad and Mum, Dave's eldest daughter Kate, then Dave's widow, Denyse, then daughter #2, Shannyn and partner...

Towards the back of the room, Dave's Navy friends, l-r, Bob Birch and his wife, Leslie, Ken Ward's widow, Sue Ward, Margaret Ormes, Rick Pengilly, Jeff 'Curly' Ormes,
(then obscured, out of frame,) David 'Charlie' Charlton and Wal 'Midge' Midgely... Rod 'Fred' Legg was on the end of the row, (sunnies,) 2 rows in front of us...



Slide #6
Dave's two daughters, Kate and Shannyn, along with Kate's son, River, return to their seats after placing memorabilia from Dave's Naval career on his coffin...

Slide #7
Dave's brother-in-law (Denyse's brother,) Peter O'Brien, delivering his tribute...

Slide #8
Features Dave's long-term friend/ fellow 14th Intake MOBI, Rod 'Fred' Legg, brandishing multiple A4 sheets of 'stories' recounting some fond memories of Dave...

Slide #9
Dave's long-term friend and 'real estate development partner' in San Remo (Philip Island, Vic.,) Richard Garside fondly recalling incident's with 'larrikin Dave'...
(If you 'fast forward' to the 36 min mark of the live stream, you'll find out why Richard justifies the 'larrikin' moniker for Dave...)

Oh... ...and don't miss young Dave's impressive Robert Irwin impersonation...!
