David was a fine man; kind and generous of his time with his colleagues and clients- a man of great wit and keen intellect. He adored his children and family: was a truly rare and again- brilliant practitioner of his profession. He travelled the world and encouraged others to do the same- generously providing the time they needed to grow both professionally and personally. He had a knack, a gift of character that was unique: Each time people met with him they did so with a sense of well being, leaving his presence one did so feeling better than they did prior. A joy to speak with & listen too- with a ready smile and a twinkle of the eye: David brightened the day, each day, of all who met him. A remarkable Man, Father and colleague. I, We- wish David´s Family & Dear Friends sincere condolences .
