A very dear friend from high school & St Paul's youth group in Timaru and stayed in touch over all the 63 years since our wedding in 1962 where David was one of the bridle party. He was a great friend to both our families over his lifetime and loved by us all. One day when we were in Rome we were spotted by David & Nancy in the crowd and we sat down and enjoyed a coffee and a catchup. A very dear friend has gone on ahead of us, so until we meet again, much love dear David.
