With love Jill, Nick, Rebecca and Sam Nicholas Harvey 03 November 2019 So many happy memories of times spent in shipyards and on trips with Motty. He always had time to share a gem of information or just make a wry comment, maybe with a raised eyebrow. Always a pleasure to spend time with. I miss him. My thoughts are with your family. Fiona Quinton 30 October 2019 Like a bird singing in the rain, let good memories survive in time of sorrow..... Alison and Robin Alison Coe 26 October 2019 I always looked forward to seeing David at the various shipping events (here and overseas) we attended in the course of our work because I knew I was either going to learn something about the business or, even better, just have a laugh about what was going on there or in our lives generally. To use an expression sadly going out of fashion, David was truly a Gentleman and a Scholar. Tony Peisley 24 October 2019

Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear, All my love around you soft and clear.
