I didn’t see David very often but when I did, with all the Birmingham Uni lot, it was always for a happy occasion. There was often lots of food, drinks, singing, dance and late nights involved. And more than anything, loads and loads of laughter and love. He was always a big part of it! David will live in my memory as a very gentle and kind soul. His lovely smile and his love for sailing, his genuine interest in other people’s customs and culture and, more than anything, his love for his little family, will always stay with me. RIP dear Davos, it was a pleasure to meet you! Sonia xx
