He held the audience captivated in Beith Community Centre as he highlighted various aspects of the life, times and people of Scotland, delivering his address with humour and sincerity. That he was Knighted for his contribution to the life of Scotland was simply wonderful. Scotland has indeed lost a wonderful character of whom, sadly, we have far too few. Memories are indeed precious. Many folk will remember this larger-than-life character with special memories.

His larger than life persona drew one into a history of Scotland that is both awe inspiring and inspiring. To hear him brandishing alternatively claymore and guitar in his kilt , makes one part of that legacy. To us at the Lennox Heritage Society in West Dunbartonshire, David continues in the history he loved. We were privileged to meet and hear David on several occasions.

I was lucky to spend a lot of time in Dave's company and he was big Rossy and I was always wee Ross to him. The big man had a heart of gold and personally helped me out on too many occasions to mention and at all times made me laugh and I knew I could depend on him. I was lucky enough to travel to Canada with him a good few years back and see him in action when speaking to an audience whether it was 20 or 300 people and he never failed to deliver and make the crowd proud to be Scottish or even to be associated with our country. I don't think I have ever met a man so passionate about what he did, but for me personally it was more about him as a friend, a father and a man that I grew to love. You will always have a place in my heart big man. I would love to hear one of your stupid jokes or stories again but at least I have the memories. Yu will be missed Ross Hunter ( wee Ross) Like Tim Dave was a close pal of mine and I couldn’t believe it when his daughter called me with the sad news today.
