Professor David Moore JOHNSTON

My deepest condolences for Carol and family. David was a good friend and I will never forget his enthusiasm for life and his work.

I am so very sorry for your loss Carol and Joshua and family. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Deepest condolences from David´s colleagues at BRANZ. David´s work and collaborations supported, directly and indirectly, BRANZ´s research in numerous ways. David´s enthusiasm and inspiration will be greatly missed by us all.

We will meet soon or later. My sincere condolences to David's family. Alessandro.

We already miss your energy, the barrage of great ideas you brought to...
