Dick was an ex-NavyMaster at Arms and joined Daily Freight in 1987. In his 20 yearswith various branches of the Mainfreight Group he built manyfriendships with team members around the country, and waswell-known and liked as a “hard case” who enjoyed a round ofgolf ... usually followed by a stop at the 19th hole.Dick’s navy training served him well; he always lookedimmaculate right down to his well-shined shoes. In a visit toDunedin a couple of years ago, Don Braid was heard to say thatDick’s truck should be held up as the standard – its conditionwas certainly always a credit to him and the Company.Dick was a hard worker with a great attitude to life. He will be much missed by the team here, and ourthoughts are with his partner Patsy, and his two children Neke & Anaru.David John Lumsden – Mainfreight InvercargillDave passed away on 02 December 2007 aged 43, tragicallytaking his own life.
