I am very sorry to say that Dave, a member of the Men’s Shed, died unexpectedly at his home last Friday. Dave had been a regular at the Men’s Shed for a number of years and he will be sorely missed.

Dave brought a lot of skills to the Shed and was always willing to share them with everyone, and there isn’t a member who hasn’t had Dave help them on one of their projects.

But more importantly, he brought himself. We all enjoyed his stories of his ‘slightly colourful’ youth and his sense of humour and laughter, and easy-going nature were a big part of the Men’s Shed.

I only knew Dave ‘on a Wednesday’ and my life is richer for it, and I know that is the case for the other members too. Thank you, Dave.
