I'm sorry to have learned today that Dave passed away at the end of 2024. A very special swimming coach who I think of every time I'm in the water, still at 59, using the freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly skills he taught me.
Sending much love to you all as life goes on without a much loved husband, dad, grandad and great grandad.
Arohanui, from Sheila Beckers (Robinson)
