I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. I just bought a saxophone from him in June and he was patient enough to show me the unboxing, setting up, made me practice some scales in front of him and recommended what extras I should get. My condolences to the family and may he rest in peace.

David was a man I enjoyed having a yarn with. He was always cheeky and cheerful when he came into the office. I will miss our coffee chats.
Heart felt condolences to the Spillanes family.
