When Nicky and Marc and Mike and Louise were young, we had some great holidays with Dave and Pat - I regret that I didn't keep in greater contact after Dave and Pat separated. Dave was a larger than life character with a great sense of humour - I was extremely fond of him. Nicky, Marc and I will treasure those early memories. It was lovely for Jane and I to finally meet Mandy and Matthew at the funeral albeit on that sad occasion. We send our love whilst they come to terms with their loss. Rest in peace Dave.

In loving memory of David Hewson who sadly passed away on 29th June 2024
David was born and grew up in Gravesend, went to the local Grammar school where after he became head cashier in a bank. Although he was married with two small children he was persuaded to apply to become a police officer.
He was successful in his application and served for a total of 26 years, retiring in 1997. During his time in the police force he received two Certificates of Merit in recognition of courage, the first in 1990 and the second in 1991. He served in various locations in Kent, ending his service in Canterbury within the Custody Suite.
He had an amazing sense of humour and was well liked by many people (even some of those he had cause to arrest!) and much loved by his family and friends. His little dog Ben was devoted to him and can’t understand where he has gone.
He is now probably telling the angels ‘Dad jokes’, and regaling them with stories of his time in the police.
