Our friendship with David goes back more than fifty years through Juliet knowing Valerie.
We particularly remember David's generous hospitality and his meticulous gardening skills. His wonderful vegetable garden in front of his and Valerie's home on Clifton Hill and his amazing cottage garden complete with picket fence at the end of their section.
We send our deepest sympathy to Valerie, Deidre, Andrea and Greg together with their families. Love from Juliet and Andrew Smith.

David responded to a request to volunteer his accountancy expertise to assist The Okains Bay Maori & Colonial Museum from 2015 to 2018. "You kept us balanced in relation to all matters fiscal."
