Mr Squire, 62, was a long-serving member on the boards of the National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA) and the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).

“David was a lively member of the NIBA board and was highly respected for his knowledge and contribution,” he said. “He’s sorely missed.” 

Former FOS Chairman Peter E Daly told insuranceNEWS.com.au Mr Squire always represented the financial services sector “with enormous enthusiasm. He did a great job.”

Mr Squire is survived by his wife Rosann, four children and seven grandchildren. His funeral will be held at 10.30am tomorrow (Tuesday) at Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Catholic Church in Coorparoo.
