David THORNTON Obituary

Hi
I did not receive my normal Christmas card and phoned but no answer - very sad to find the news. David was a kind, funny and wonderful man. Great friend to beryl I bet they are having a few glasses of wine together. David was the first person to meet my husband and we had great times when he visited us in the U.K.

David was a wonderful friend and neighbour - he had the most wonderful friendly disposition- kind and generous nature. Many great nights spent around the dinner table - he will always be in my heart as the best friend a girl could ever possibly want and have.

So sorry to hear about the loss of Dear David. To me he was my man at Air New Zealand. He helped me through my happy travel plans as well as my sad ones for many years even out of the back of a campervan near the airport at one stage. Rest in Peace David.

Mr. 13th Man, what a pleasure it was to have known you.
Keep dancing, smiling, laughing all washed down with the best wine.
Rest easy David.

The picture was taken on my wedding day. The three of us having our birthday on the 13th of September.

So sorry for your loss John and Jeff.
My memories of David were all those of a young person as I haven't seen him for many years. He was fun! We shared a memorable holiday in Loch Mara Bay with our families when we were kids, we both loved horses and both attended bible class, where a production was staged with David as lead and me also with a part. He went on in this field, I did not!
And the glue that binds us our Dad's were first cousins and great mates! RIP David

There are some people that enter our lives for a season and others that leave a footprint that lasts a lifetime.
David looked after our travel plans for many years.
He was highly skilled and resultant.
We had many memorable and successful overseas
Trips in his capable care.
I was also blessed to have the privilege of a
WARM,KIND,GENTLE SPIRITED, FUN LOVING person as a friend over 40 years.
RIP dear David
You will be missed.
Mary

I was lucky enough to work with David in the early 1970's. He was such fun, a sincere and genuine friend. I often reflect on the laughs that we had together in the office. Rest in peace David.
