Very saddened to hear of the death of David.
He had such enthusiasm for everything that he did and very young at heart. When he first returned to rowing at the age of 76 (after a gap of 50 years) everybody was astonished to learn his age. He was delighted to win at our Time Trials and was very generous to Phyllis Court Rowing Club.
His moving to USA to set up his new business in his 80's was typical of the zest he showed for life. I will really miss him. |

David was a very kind and generous man. He was a softly spoken gentle giant. |

David was one of the more practical members of Phyllis Court Rowing Club. He enabled us to know what parts we needed to keep the boats in good shape and working order and he often supplied them. He would come to the Club on a Saturday morning to help out shortly after flying in from America. I remember my first attempt in a single scull when he gave me the confidence to survive that outing and to be confident enough to try again. I well remember that he hosted a great party at the Club in 2008 – everyone thought it was his 70th not his 80thbirthday. A lovely man. |
