In memory of David Dale

By Millie Dale

27 March 1948 - 6 August 2025 

Tiramisu connoisseur, dog lover, great wit, brilliant journalist. 

Beloved husband of Susan Williams. Devoted and adored father of Millie Dale and father-in-law of Ben Wheeler. Much loved brother-in-law of Fiona Williams and uncle of Teal Griffin.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the incredible Chris O'Brien Lifehouse, where David spent his final weeks and received the most brilliant care.

Hey Millie - your dad was my saviour, mentor, inspiration, and brilliant leader. Funny as a fit, kind, decent and friend. I was fortunate that he scooped me up. I’m here for you and Susan. (Up the hill.)

Very moving celebration this morning. When Susan recalled David's desire to get Millie to an Italian restaurant, it reminded me of a lunch at Pulcinella when my son Andrew (now 41) was 5 weeks old, and under the table (literally), That was the day he first tasted mascarpone, courtesy of David and his spoon. No ill effects.
