It was with great sadmess thatI learnt of the passing of David. When he was a student at the RVC I was his clinical tutor,  and thus new him well. He was a delight to teach, always actively partisipating in classes and at the time I thought that he would contribute much to the Profession. This has been subsequently proven correct, particularly in relation to the mental health of the Profession. My sincere condolences to his family and friends
