Deepest sympathies to the Caughey families. David was such a great character and will be warmly remembered. We both have special memories that always bring a smile or remember that cheeky grin. Some people leave a lasting impression on our journey through life. RIP David

Dear Irene Warren and families
Deepest sympathy to you all and I know of your wonderful care from the family every Thursday morning at RJ a special time with David.
I called into see him on Tuesday and other times just to give him a rub on his arm and to let him him know the “boss “was here to say hi.
Dear David who did so much for others especially all the children who attended RDA. For so many years.
I give thanks for his giving life

I have just read the notice of David's passing. This has bought back so many memories of years gone by when the Caughey family lived at Otahuti. My thoughts go out to you all.

My Deepest Sympathy in the loss of David. David and my brother Robert Caithness ( Sonny), were very good friends in the Otahuti days. Also when David & Sonny both lived in Invercargill. David visited Sonny in hospice before he died in 2009. I appreciated that.
Regards. Margaret Gutsell.

When I think od David I think of a polar bear and of his crafts enjoyed out the back. Also of the miniature rhodedendrons he gave me for my new home garden many years ago. He was a god man. They are in flower now.
