Messages Of Condolence

David, you were my best mate for over 60 years. When I look back on the things we did together (and with Shirley too), drag racing, holidays, repair jobs, working in the shop, pool, speedway and darts, to mention just a few, it makes me wonder where the years have gone. How do you condense a lifetime into a few words? So I’ll just say thank you for your friendship and so many happy memories. - Eric

David, I think I’ve known you pretty much all of my life firstly in the shop and later (after I met Eric) as a friend. The four of us together have had some good times. It’s been a privilege knowing you. God bless you David x - Ann

David you have been the best friend and traveling companion and you will be so missed. But we have our memories of your wonderful company. Always in our hearts.

After some 70 plus years as friends I find it hard to put into words my sense of loss for such a true and generous mate as Dave.
My thoughts go out to Shirly and Family.

Such a sad time. Remembering all the good times, too many to mention. RIP Dave.
