Dave Grant.
Dave was born in March 1961 and unfortunately he left us on the 5th January, 2020 – he was only 58, far too young. He was a TELSRIG for many years until amalgamation with the CETECHS in 1995, he then became a CETECH. He had been suffering cancer for some time but eventually, as it usually does, it won the fight. Dave’s funeral service was held on the 11th January at the Ipswich Crematorium.
As per his wishes, Dave was later farewelled by his mates on the 1st March at a ceremony at Lee Point, a northern suburb of Darwin, where his ashes were scattered with his beloved dogs Kouta and Plugga.
