So many happy memories, they all start with uncle Dave pinching my cheek and giving it a shake. I couldn’t wait to watch the Bury games (when I could go) with Dave and Su and sit back and listen to Dave go on and on about how a player was useless and stole someone else’s job. Absolutely priceless.
Uncle Dave will always have a special place in my heart. Will miss him very much. Love Fay-Ray xx

Dave was a well liked working member at the East Lancashire Railway always there with a joke particularly about football.
He will be sadly missed being a very conscientious hardworking volunteer and the most likeable guy you will ever meet.

RIP Dave
