John 23rd January 2022

Dear David, I think of you often and hold dear our adventures, afloat and ashore, sometimes sober and sometimes a little less so. Many many fond memories mate and here’s a few in no particular order: Tales of Suki and her heavy handed paws, Jimmy Nail and rubbing shoulders with the stars, PP - as mentioned by Dad - Pipes, Puff, Smoked out and all! John your helper and his (repeated) attempts to lead you astray! Watching your Uncle lifting you in / out / off / on PP and wondering (statistically) when will you end up in the drink! Your laugh. Infectious as ever! Your smile that could literally light up any room. And you making it to our wedding for which we’ll always be incredibly grateful. Gone but not forgotten - you are sorely missed.
