Dave joined the team in October 1975 and served as the deputy auxiliary in charge , auxiliary in charge before the title was changed to Station Officer.
Throughout those year he served in both the lookout at Peveril Point and the Rescue Company carrying out many rescues.
Dave retired from the team in July 2002 but followed the team with great interest.
Outside of the Coastguard he ran a local wine merchants , was a beach warden before working in Purbeck Lighting in the high street.
He will be missed by all that knew him especially when requiring a pen as Dave always had one tucked behind his ear.
Our thoughts are with Pauline , Simon, Paul and families.
