In Loving Memory
To Geri, Christian, Jeremy, Tiffany and Hazel and Dave's extended family we were so shocked and saddened to learn of Dave's passing. We have been friends since we four were young marrieds and living as neighbours in Panguna, Bougainville. Our days were full with our jobs, our friends, dinner parties, picnics on deserted white sand beaches. We holidayed with Dave and Geri at Park City in 2019 and have wonderful memories of that time and the years prior. Our hearts go out to you all. You have had a wonderful man in your lives; hang onto the happy memories you have built up over many years. Much love Sara and Harvey xxx

How can we lose Dave Thomas? It's just so wrong. We didn't know Dave and Geri for years and years, but the friendship was easy. So natural, that it seemed as though we had been friends for a very long time. Traveling with them, golfing together, dinners, brunches, and just getting our pooches together for play dates were always something to look forward too. He was a genuine friend and his bigger than life presence will be truly, truly missed.
