Born in Nottingham on 1st April 1956, David Mark Rogerson (Dave) was the eldest son of Ted and Jean and brother to Jenny, Paul and Phil.
Dave was married four times; Linda, Joyce, Marie and finally Bev. From these marriages he can account six children; Colin, Sarah, David, Lee, Steven and Chris. He also has various other family members all of whom I know will miss him dearly.
Dave was a warm, welcoming and generous man who had a kind and well-intentioned heart. We will all miss sitting with him and reminiscing over times spent. We will also miss his humour and daft stories from his past where, more often than not; he was getting up to no good. All of them would make us laugh with him laughing the most of all. However, we won’t miss his bad jokes though, he can take them with him.
I know he cared deeply for his family and friends, you always had a place to go if you needed it and food, drink and good company was always to be had at his house.
Dave was many things in life from a milkman to a transport manager. The things he remembered most were his times spent in the Royal Navy, Driving Lorries and being a Pub Landlord. All of these generated a multitude of stories which were never dull no matter how many times he told them. He was very successful at all these and made lots of friends along the way.
It’s hard to imagine the light gone from his eyes and the laughter gone from his face, but if you look you will see him in the mannerisms in is family and friends and hear him in the things they say. In them he will live on and in them he will remembered.
Sadly only just found out today, a great shipmate of ours on HMS Brighton. Always full of life and brilliant company. If ever you were down, he would soon have you back up and laughing again. Many a fun journey with him driving us up and down to Plymouth at weekends. So very much wish I could have paid my last respects. RIP Shipmate, someday we will share a beer and a lot of laughs in the great beyond.
Gutted at the loss of my ex brother in law, my brother in law for 26 years, such a character and never judged people. Will be missed. RIP David all my love Carol xxxxx
