Eulogy of David John Merris Probin

Created by Sarah-Jane Probin 14 years ago
David John Merris Probin, a son, brother husband and father was born on the 5th October 1941, the era for being a ‘Rocker’ so I’ve been told. David had a love for motorbikes even though he was a car mechanic. His life changed when he met Joanie, their first date was at the movies up the west end and before they knew it “married” on the 2nd July 1966 on a hot summer’s day. Not long after they had Karen, Scott and Sarah-Jane David was a generous man was always willing to help and never judged people. He was so chilled out he laid horizontal, no wonder why he chose to live in Spain. You knew David by “Cup of tea with loads of sugar” as David would say “Te con leche con mucho azucera” and the way his face would light up for the formula one, so much so he called his dog after his favourite racing driver Schumacher. David/Dad you will be missed but never forgotten and not a day will pass that we won’t think of you. We love you with all out heart and thank you for the wonderful life you have given us. Goodbye Dad and god bless. Written and read by Sarah-Jane Probin on 24th March 2010
