A great workmate and mate for over a decade working together at Unisys, and the many laughs taking the micky out of one another. He was a popular clever guy that was always there when we needed him, and I will always smile when I think of him. It wasn´t always about work though, we shared a passion for football, and of course the Nix. RIP Crossy, you will be missed. Mossy

David always held an amazing space as a colleague here in Wellington, as well in Hamilton back in the 90s. His presence and fabulous sense of humor will be dearly missed
