I am very sad but also have such Happy memories of the times spent with David. David and Carolynne always made us feel so welcome in their home, we loved spending time with them. David had such a wonderful sense of humour we had a lot of fun. He loved his games of cribbage he was hard to beat. I will miss our chats on the phone even when he wasn't feeling the best he would still be very pleasant. RIP David it was so good knowing you. - Posted by: ellen johnson (Davids Son-in-laws mother) on: Nov 19, 2013
