As we reflect on Davids life, we are endeared by the ways he contributed to our shared family story, and we are grateful for the moments we had with him. We had many fun social occasions all together at Kathy and Mikes in Greenhithe., May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him, and may we continue to carry forward the warmth and kindness that he showed us throughout his life. Rest in peace, David. 🩵
