We will always be retelling the many tales of the adventures we have shared with you both in Cornwall and France. We may have stalked you to France. Still here but we may have stalked you at sometime in the U.K. Who knows! We will miss David so much and he will be forever in our hearts and thoughts. Tim's words to you David 'Tight lines'!

It was a privilege and an honour to have met you at the very special College of Knowledge all those decades ago, to share the dits, sup the pints, and laugh till we cried. Isabel and I will forever miss you but you will always have a very special place in our hearts. Rest in peace and May the Angels take very special care of you.

Catching up a couple of years ago. Dave was a great boss during our time together on HMS Illustrious and fantastic host in France. Always good company and will be fondly remembered by the Withers family.

David was always there in a time of need. Even at 4 in the morning when from the middle of Spain we called him. The garage had incorrectly half filled our diesel car with petrol. He gave a practical solution, to us non technical people. Much to our relief.

So many wonderful memories that we will cherish for many years. How we laughed and shared a fair few glasses - and put the world to rights! From France, to Scotland, to Croatia to Canada, to Oz and back, thank you Dave. ❤️
