I worked with David at Sir Winston Churchill for many, many years and we had many laughs. We have kept in touch over the years and I am saddened to lose a friend. He spoke so much about Vicky and Mark. Rest in peace David and Marika.

Vicky and Mark, my thoughts are with you at this time. I remember your dad, clear as day, of course in my memories, he is around 40! So glad to see how much love you all shared.

Our sincere condolences, Mark and Vicky from your old neighbours on Wilson ave. a long-long time ago but with fond memories of all of you. I still cannot pass by the front lawn of that house without the vision of seeing them enjoying the sunshine, while stopping for a short chat with Marika and David.

What a wonderful week you had with him, and he was able to be home. I am so sure he and your mom are doing just fine... she's busy asking what took him so long.
Sending much love to David and Vicky.

Much loved by his children Vicky and Mark. I never met David but I cheered him on from the sidelines when Parkinsons set in. My condolences to all those who knew and loved David Ainley.
