David passed away peacefully at home in Feock, Cornwall, aged 88 years, on 7th December 2022. A devoted and loving husband to Joy; beloved father to Andrew, James and Lucy. Adored grandfather to William, Alice, Conor, Sinead, Freddie, Millie and great grandfather to Maddie and Jude
Formerly of Weston Favell, Northampton. David was a very able sportsman, having played rugby for the Northampton Saints, East Midlands and the Barbarians. When not playing rugby, it was cricket, golf, squash, tennis, skiing and latterly sailing after moving to Cornwall.
A modest, self-deprecating, kind and unflinchingly loyal man, with a quiet sense of humour that left an imprint with almost everyone he met.
He will be deeply missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
You could not have wished for a greater brother. Very fond memories. Mark.
