I find it hard to put in to words my feelings at this very sad time. I remember David as a child and it brings back happy memories of all the usual family times. I still remember vividly trying to stop David pushing over a mountain of baked beans in a Tesco store. Also remember him as a page at my wedding and all those things that families do. I didn't see David as much in adult life but was always proud to hear of his academic achievements. On the occasions when our paths crossed I would pull his leg about him still being at some university or other and wasn't it time he got a proper job. David always smiled and told me what he was doing of course I didn't understand but I was impressed because he understood it. As I mentioned our paths crossed less over the last few years and I only saw David at the occasional family get together. But his passing came as a massive shock and I feel sad that he won't be at our next family event. David left us in his prime and worked with and collaborated with many people around the world. Wouldnt it be nice to think that some of this work might inspire someone to make a major breakthrough that helps change the world for the better.
