UniFamily we are deeply saddened to share some truly heart-breaking news on behalf of the Walton family. Dave Walton passed away last week after a short battle with cancer.

Dave has been a much loved and valued part of our UniFamily for many years. The Walton family felt that there may be people from our UniFamily community that would like to attend the celebration of his wonderful life to be held Thursday 7th May at 3pm in the Black Swan Functions Room.

A GoFundMe has been started by one of Dave’s close friends to support Merete, Maya and Sophie in this devastating time. If you would like to assist, please click on the link below.
