As a small child,at the start of WW2,David lived for several years in Worcestershire,within sight of bombs falling on Coventry.Later,as a child I remember him practicing the piano while he baby sat for me - I was 8 years younger than him: John,his brother.

David was passionate about the history of electricity and helped provide technical expertise for the electrical exhibits at the Durango Powerhouse. He was a critical thinker, delightful conversationalist and a gentle soul. We will miss him.

I'm going to miss that shock of silver hair scurrying about in the garden next door. What a fascinating man. Lucky you! I know he will make himself known to you in that lovely garden.

Jeanne,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved David. You have both been so brave, strong and devoted. I am thinking of you
and wishing you more strength in these difficult days.
Warmly, Melani
