Scores of tributes paid to community-spirited, popular Burnham resident
Tributes have been paid to a well-known, community-spirited Burnham-On-Sea resident who sadly passed away at the weekend.
Dave Ilsley, 71, a former long-standing member of Burnham Coastguards, BARB Search & Rescue and the town’s St Andrew’s Church, died on Saturday following a period of illness.
Scores of warm tributes have been paid to Dave, who spent many years as a Burnham Coastguard, ‘retiring’ in 2011. He then gave much of his time to helping others and visiting Coastguard stations around the country, raising funds for the Coastguard Association.
He also volunteered at Burnham’s hovercraft rescue charity BARB for many years, and helped with community activities at St Andrew’s Church.
