I was saddened to find out that David had passed. He was my uncle Teds son, a cousin who I only knew as a child through my father Harry Weatherley telling me he had emigrated to Canada.
I remember some years ago seeing a big article in The Kilburn Times or some London paper about David and his success as an actor.
Just sorry I never met him.

Being a retired soldier myself I sincerely regret the passing of a friend and a Comrade in Arms. He was the very model of a model Major General. I salute you as you march out on your last parade. They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them. Gavin Bennett. Veteran.

Happy memories of times past at the Mercury. As well as being a fine actor, David possessed a superb bass-baritone singing voice.

David was a member of the Royal Marines Association of NZ. He also was the bass drummer of the Corps of Drums. Time to stand down David your duties over.

None of you know me but I like to think through his work I knew David. When I was a kid going through anything rough he always knew how to make me laugh or smile or even just think whenever he came on screen as Spencer from Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive.

Thank you David. Fly high.
