RIP David. Unfortunately I was not in a position to attend funeral. Such a lovely guy. Always asked after myself & my dog George when online. Chatty friendly man at classic car social meetings & took time out to chat with me too. Will be missed.
Condolences to David's Family & loved ones.

David was a well respected member of this  club.  He always brought energy, mirth and intriguing stories of local life in Medway over the decades.  He will be  missed by all the leathermen; may he rest in peace and rise in fabulous glory!

David was a very good friend. We enjoyed many walks together with Peter Baldry (another friend we have lost) and other friends, and many Sunday lunches, sometimes when it was only the two of us. We always had a good time.

Dear David, you were taken from us suddenly and far too soon; you brought such joy and happiness into so many lives with your generous nature and heart. You are sorely missed by so many who have many fond memories of you. Paul xx

​A regular at our Gentlemen's lunches each month, always with entertaining stories to share whether classic cars or his many other interests, a friend of everyone and will be missed by the whole group.
