Thoughts

So sad to hear that David died so prematurely. We worked together at Eastern Electricity in the 1970s and regularly played badminton at Mid Suffolk, as well as performing badly as a group. His pleasure in campanology was apparent even then and obviously grew with time. as often happens as time went on and mariage, job moves etc. meant we lost touch. Very Best Wishes from a very old friend

I first met David in the 1980’s while regularly ringing in Suffolk. He was dedicated, bold and enthusiastic, dare I say adventurous even, in his ringing. We did ring a peal or two together and some quarters of which I was grateful for the opportunities. I have not seen David for a long time but have caught up with his exploits and those of his family occasionally through the sight of a guild report. I have now only heard of his passing, David will be missed greatly. Thoughts are with Katherine and the boys. Nick Wade

Having just become aware of the death of David I wanted to say how sad I feel at his loss, obviously a big one to the ringing world but such a huge one for Katherine and his lovely boys. Very sorry to hear such news. I didn't really know David except as part of the camaraderie shown towards me at SMLT when I first began to learn to ring. However, he gave of his time, expertise, interest in my progression, and did help me along the ringing path, as did Katherine. They were a courting couple when I first met them, obviously in love, and always laughing, disagreeing too but having fun. David was instructive in just watching his style. Sometimes I came across him striding about the town in his lunch hour; we'd have a short chat, smoke, and sometimes he would tell me a story of interest, of fun, concerning ringing/ringers. He had a lovely smile, sometimes looking almost secretive, and I would wonder what he was thinking !!! My thoughts are with Katherine, George, Colin, Henry. Stay strong family, you gave him such love and care, and you know he loved you. Very best Wishes, Sandy Jones. Phil sends best wishes and his sympathy.
