I had the enormous pleasure of working with David at Cargill. From the word go he was very much adored, respected, admired and loved.. making a huge impact with his beautiful personality. The world needs more people like David and I'm very honoured to have known him, a sadly brief friendship but I write this with a very reflective, happy smile on my face. Much love. xxx.

It has taken me sometime to write this as I am absolutely devastated to lose such a wonderful man friend family member. But I am going to focus on the many good times I had with you from our Boxing Day walks, to doing silly things like caterpillars outside Lincoln cathedral. So many amazing memories I could be here all day, we used to get up to so much mischief. But that’s what I loved about David he was a big kid and we always had fun. I’m gutted that I can’t be with you to pay final respects, but rest assured look out for the balloon that will be coming over from the Spanish waters. Love ya pal see you on the other side for a pint. Xx
