Dear Rachel & family,
Very sad to hear of David's death. You were very kind to me years ago when I attended F&B meetings, where David's level head & sharp perception were very valuable.
Would like to catchup sometime.

A good friend, a forthright champion of causes, and a great supporter of the arts in Wellington. My condolences to Rachel and the family.
