I first met David14 years ago at an early falcon car club meeting. When meeting David, i quickly found him to be very friendly and welcoming, which made joining the club easy and resulted in a true friendship. David and i had 3 favourite things in life we both enjoyed doing,- going to car shows, swap meets and catching up at our favourite pub for a beer once a month. These three things will never be the same without David. Miss you mate, Mark

David was a great bloke, easy going and happy in life. I was one of the first persons to 'drop in' to his place in search of Australian History. He did not know me at all but did not hesitate to show me around. Years later I brought a mate out from WA & he too was shown the Consiglio hospitality. Whilst I have not visited for a while I will never forget David. Thanks mate for your kindness to a stranger. Dave.

I spent a week with David and his family attending to the Kelly Beveridge House that they generously maintain as part of our Australian heritage. David made everybody feel very welcome and we all got to like David very much. His love for his family and daughters came out every day - her was truly a fine family man and will be missed greatly. My very sincere condolences to the Sharon and the girls.. Michael (Santa Claus)
