I can't believe that it's been 5 years since you left us... I finally found the courage to distribute your ashes...in 4 containers, buried in a pot containing an olive tree (dedicated to Grandad..you now have 2 grandchildren...Will and Lucy) and the remainder was floated down the River Wallington this sunny morning. Even after all this time, there is still that void where you should be.I have learn't to survive but it would be so much more if you where still here. I love you Little Man. xx

Thoughts

David was the first person we met when we moved to Fareham in 1981, arriving out-of-the-blue on our doorstep with a teapot and two mugs - and an invitation for something stronger later. In the darkness he couldn't see me properly, though i could see him and, as he introduced himself as as one of our new neighbours, he nearly dropped the tray when I greeted him as a term-mate and friend from Dartmouth. Our families became and have remained good friends - his kindness and generosity were well-know - Lucy particularly remembers his calm and reassuring drive to hospital at 0600 when she was in labour with our first child. We will miss him. Paul & Lucy Docherty

David was one of my closest friends and the person who taught me 'life is not a race' and that 'my timing was lousy.' He shared many naval stories and it was a pleasure to listen. He taught me how to sail and that silence could be more powerful than words. A true gentleman and so dedicated to the work he did for the community. No words can explain how much I miss him and I will treasure the friendship we had. My love and thoughts go out to Sue, Fiona and Jo. RIP my special friend. xxx

David and I worked on FOST staff together and shared an office. I always appreciated his calm and unflustered approach to how different people and teams learned. He was a most helpful colleague and a warm hearted man. Best wishes to you all, Adrian Nance
