Dear Fiz and Family, I always admired David and enjoyed his company when we worked with him. He was a forward thinking man who helped New Zealand and especially North Canterbury farmers to seek ways to improve the farming environment for the future. Our work with him and the Canterbury broom group to develop ways to control broom has been a highlight for our team. Our kindest regards and thoughts to you, Hugh Gourlay and the biocontrol of weeds team at Landcare Research.

It's so many years since we've had any contact, but Rosemary (nee Dixon ) told me on Skype this morning, about your husband David's sudden death. How devastating for you & your whole family.
My thoughts are with you at this very difficult. I hope your family will be of support, whilst coping with their own grief.
With my warmest regards.
