In loving memory of David William Hiscock who sadly passed away at Trent Court Nursing Home on 1st December 2022, aged 69 years. David will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.

No flowers by request please.

David was and always be the love of my life and I will miss him until the day we are together again. David was the most wonderful husband and he leaves a gap that will never be filled. His love of Sunderland Football Club was almost as great as his love for me - football and cricket were his real passions along with tormenting me!! I will treasure so many memories of him and his great sense of humour. Sadly dementia robbed us of so much time together and took away all his memories but I will hold on to the fact we had over 35 years together before he sadly left me. Forever in my heart

So sad that Dave has passed away, he suffered from a cruel disease which took away all his memories. However the rest of us have very happy memories of working with Dave, he will be remembered with fondness. So sorry for your loss Gail.

I have found memories of joining the team at the Occupation Therapy Library in Derby in 1992. Dave made me feel welcome, as did the wider team at Mickleover. I can't begin to imagine what you went through watching Dave's illness consume him Gail? Such a cruel disease.

Gail, we have never met but I knew David, indeed, shared a flat with him, during our time at Warwick University. Like Mark Whyte, I remember fondly our trips to Sunderland when we often stayed at Dave's home, being cossetted by his lovely Mum. You have had a difficult time over recent years but, as you say, your 35 years together will always be with you. May his memory be blessed.

Glennis and I are so very sorry to hear the sad news. We send our love and support to Gail. Dave was a lovely man and a dear friend. I have great memories of our time together at Warwick University and of our trips to Sunderland and Roker Park. Dave was the Best Man at our wedding and he was indeed the best man to be so.

So many memories of sharing a (tiny) office with Dave for many years and of all the laughter. The Dave we knew disappeared sometime ago thanks to this horrible illness but he is now at peace. Am sure though he will still be keeping an eye on his beloved Sunderland wearing his best football gansey xx

We are so sad at the passing of our dear brother in law, David was a gentle giant.
Husband to Gail, together for over 35 years.
Loved his Sunderland AFC and his home roots of Sunderland.
His smile and cheeky grin would win over anybody, a clever and well informed man.
The Alzheimer’s broke a beautiful man.
RIP big fella, we miss you so much already x
