Sending my love to you Jane and Daniel on the passing of David. From Carol and Tony Dickinson

I am truly shocked by David’s passing. I had the privilege of working with both David and his father Ladi in the LV Power Industry.

David was one of the smartest people I knew and the energy sector is the better for his magnificent contribution.

Best wishes to his family

Dear Janee and Daniel

So shocked to hear of David’s passing. We are thinking of you at this sad time.

A true gentleman… inspiring those around him. Will be sadly missed

I was shattered when I heard the news of David’s passing. He was a much loved and valued member and friend of the Warragul Dog Club and I know he was looking forward to running his own classes. He had so much knowledge and passion to share on dog behaviour and training and was so committed to helping others with their dog challenges. I really enjoyed our deep conversations on all things dogs, and admired the love and joy he shared with Jesse and Tyra. He always made them feel like they were winners, no matter what. Condolences to Janee & Daniel.

A very personabal and very clever guy who I had enormous respect for. A real loss to the community. Sincere condolences to his wife and family.

With heartfelt condolences to Jane and Daniel.
His quietly faithful presence will be missed at Mass.
May he rest in Eternal peace.

He was so very clever and great to be around.
RIP David … treasured memories to keep. Sincere condolences to all his loving family at this very sad time .🕊️

Janee and Daniel,

I am so sorry to hear about David.
I had the great pleasure of knowing him in his student days and again at Yallourn Energy.

He will be greatly missed.

Devastating news, so soon after touching base as a close neighbour last month and being in good health. Our condolences to Janee and family. It was a privilege to supervise David’s M ApSci, the first higher degree to be awarded at GIAE back in 1980.

Shocked and saddened to hear about David’s passing. It was a real privilege to work with David. He was a very clever person and a true gentleman, who will be sadly missed by all.
My sincere condolences to his family.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of David’s sudden passing.

During our time at Yallourn, although we didn’t work together, we would cross paths regularly and he always had time to have a chat. And after his Yallourn days it was inevitable that we would bump into each other traveling to and fro on the train to town.

A kind and considerate person.

To Jane, Daniel and families our sincere condolences.

Dear Janee,
It was great knowing David, such a wonderful person who brought a smile to your face through his genuine enthusiasm and interest in all around him. It has been my great pleasure to share many conversations with David, particularly relating to Scent Work.
He is greatly missed, now and into the future.

It was such a shock to learn today of David’s sudden passing. He was a true gentleman and a much valued work colleague.

David was always up for technical discussions and these continued on shared interests long after we both retired.

Sincere condolences to Janee, Daniel and extended family. David will be very sadly missed.

For a period David and I shared an office at Hazelwood. Despite the fact the it was his office, he was always pleasant, well mannered, cheerful, helpful and a joy to engage in conversation. He was very knowledgable well researched and intelligent. I enjoyed our time together and am sorry to hear of his untimely passing. Best wishes to his family.

Dear Janee and Daniel
Sending our sincere sympathy to you on the loss of your dearest husband and father. David will be remembered as a friendly, kind and humble man who was so proud of his much loved family. Sincerely, Joanne and Wayne Leviston

Our thoughts are with you at this sad time David was a wonderful neighbour always mowing our lawn Val and Lyndon Giles

A pleasure to know David whose enthusiasm in everything around him, be it dogs or life in general, was an inspiration. Rest easy David knowing you were loved and respected.

I am truly saddened to hear of David’s passing. I knew his father Ladi well, and knew David in the “Generation Victoria” days, and then closely when we were colleagues together at Yallourn Energy. He was always open, friendly, professional, and extremely intelligent.

My condolences to the family.

I’m truly saddened to hear about David’s passing. From our earliest days working together at Yallourn in the late 90’s to Hazelwood in later years, David enriched my understanding of the electricity industry and was a true stalwart and valued colleague.

I offer my sincere condolences to David’s family.

So shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of David.

David was so highly regarded within the energy sector for his intelligence, good humour and compassion to others. I am also personally very thankful to David for offering me new opportunities late in my career.

I send my sincere condolences to Janee and Daniel, and to all family and friends.

Your kindness you showed us and your generosity as a wonderful neighbour to my dad and now us will never be forgotten. May it now be our turn in your absence. It just won’t be the same without you next door.
Our thoughts are with you Janee and Dan.

A tragic shock to his family and friends.

David was an upbeat and thoughtful family man who was well respected by his work peers and management. It was a pleasure knowing David for 10 years.

His loss is a sobering reminder that life is so fragile.

I am very sorry to here of Davis’s passing. I worked with David on and off at the SECV and beyond. He shared a love of micro processors and computing with me. David helped me on a number of occasions in my endeavors.

He will be remembered for the implementation of the first digital control system in Victoria power stations at Yallourn E Station. David worked with another colleague of mine on this project, John Gould with whom I still collaborate.

He will be sadly missed.

So sad to hear of the passing of David. Just like his dad Ladi he was a terrific work colleague. Bruce King

Very saddened to hear the loss of David, who I enjoyed dealing with frequently on a professional basis from the early 90s until a few years ago only.

Always a great gentleman and a pleasure to engage with. I always saw him as a kindly uncle supporting me as a younger energy professional.

My deepest condolences to his family.

A valued colleague over 40 years who become a valued friend. Rest in peace kind sir

David, you were a consummate and careful professional. You aways looked to advocate changes that were beneficial to the wider Victorian and Australian energy community, and resist those that were of narrow or vested interest.

You applied careful and insightful analysis, and were an important part of a coterie of analysts and policy professionals that drove massive benefits to our economy.

I admired your capability and calm stability, and many of us will miss you.

My condolences to your family and local community,

Regards

Andrew
