Although many miles away from me since 1971, David was my teacher, my "boss", mentor and true friend who held my respect for over 60 years. A man whose humility, kindness and friendship I will miss even though for so many years communication was via Xmas cards. But he was always available "on tap" whenever his wisdom was called upon. I will miss him. And what an innings, defeated only by anno domini and the loss of his best friend and wife Jill.
