Family. There is no stronger bond than that word and although we didn’t see each other in our later years, growing up was a joy, what a magical time we all had together. You are sadly missed. …

Wonderful childhood memories of watching for your Dad’s blue Anglia to arrive knowing that Sunday afternoon was no longer going to be just routine. Playing cricket, paddling in streams, staying at Bexley. Memories to treasure. You will be missed by so many. God bless. Sleep tight.     …

I always thought of David as my uncle. He was my dad’s work partner for many years and he never failed to make us all smile. Even in work mode. I remember many times in would ask him to print out smurfs and laminate them when I was younger. I as well as my family miss him very much and he was quite a big part in our lives. I’ve known him my whole life and it feels very strange to not have him around. We all shared brilliant memories going to the nurbergring. And many other events. We all miss you Dave. 🙏☁️😇 From my family and I  …

Dear David, It is so sad to say goodbye to you. You were so kind and loving and I was very fond of you. As my page boy you stole the scene at my wedding being so cute. God bless you my little cousin. With love, Barbara X …

I am honoured to have called David my friend. I first met him when Phill brought him home to our house for dinner one day back in the early 80’s. All Phill talked about was his friend “Snit” who had a dream of building a Drag racing car, using a Mark 1 Ford Escort van to customise into one. Off we went to the scrap yard and  came away with an unassuming little grey one – “That’ll be perfect” beamed Dave x.   I watched in awe at the remarkable transformation in which Dave created “Snitterbeast”. Dave assigned me as the “official film maker” and set me tasks as to what he wanted footage of during each run so the footage could be analysed in order to improve speed, launch and scrutinised by the crew. I have so many photos and videos to share and will send them to his family. Dave was the sweetest and gentle person I have ever met and I know he will be missed by everyone who knew him. My love to his lovely family. …

David we spent many happy times together over the years, you were my cousin but more importantly a very good friend. We had holidays together, we laughed we cried and we were always there for each other I will miss never going up the ‘Blue Anchor’ I will miss ‘Santa Pod’ but more importantly I will really miss you. Love you Dave. …

I have loved David since I first met him when he was just eleven years old. One of the sweetest, gentlest souls I have known. I will always remember him fondly and shall miss him terribly  be at peace now darling fondest love Doreen    …

God bless David, taken too soon.  Thank you for the childhood memories cousin. The bonfire nights at Brookmead. Staying at your house when Brookmead was flooded.  The teenage chats and spooky stories. Still can’t believe I swopped Monster Mash with you! For always being there at family gatherings. You’ll be missed though never ever forgotten. xxx …

“Uncle” David We were all so sad to hear of your untimely passing, in fact, we were absolutely gutted! As massive Petrol Heads, we LOVED hearing your stories of your car builds and racing days. We visit Santa Pod often and will always think of you when we’re there. Thank you for the laughs and imparting your invaluable knowledge! Lots of love  Leanne, Mark & Bailey  XXXXXXXXXX   …

Dear David We were in New Zealand when we heard you had passed away. It was such a shock. I have such fond memories of the times Tony’s family were either in Bexley, or you all came to Hildenborough. You were taken far too soon. I am so pleased to have seen you at Auntie Joan’s funeral. I hope you can rest in peace and can meet up with Pete and your parents. You will be missed and, if he will let us, we will look out for Chris. Love Sally xxxx …
