It is with great sadness to announce the death of Dave Milliigan from cancer. He had not been well for some years.
Dave was a Second Engineer for many years with Blue Star Line and will have been well known by many. He sailed on the California Star and later on the ACT 5. He will be remembered for his characteristic sense of humour and fun which will be missed. Dave lived in Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Dave and Jackie attended my wedding and were godparents to one of my children.
Sincere condolences are offered to his wife Jackie and family.
A funeral service was held at West Road Crematorium, Newcastle upon Tyne, Mon. 23rd July 2012. Donations to the R.N.L.I. (Seahouses branch) at the crematorium.
Captain Sandy Kinghorn, Mr David & Mrs. Paula Bentley, Mr. Kevin Greener (Bosun) and Mr. Fraser & Gillian Darrah representing old shipmates attended the funeral.
