David JENNINGS Obituary

I have so many happy memories of time spent with David and Jennifer - staying with them in New Plymouth or them staying with us in Havant in the UK, on holiday with them in Slovenia and Croatia, staying on the farm in the Cotswolds. they were always up for anything and so interested and appreciative of everything we did. David was always entertaining us with stories, jokes and teasing. We argued and laughed a lot. He was extremely generous - trying to pay for anything was always a challenge! David's amazingly retentive memory meant that he was very knowledgeable but he was always eager to learn more. Such a strong larger than life positive person. I feel privileged to have known him.

Our condolences to the Jennings family.
I would like to acknowledge the massive contribution David made to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand and the Taranaki Executive. Davids standards are well respected and continue to live on through his life's legacy.
We feel proud and honoured to have known him.
Calvin and Caroline Campbell

I enjoyed our golf games together the chats and the random jokes after a beer. You will be missed

Was nice catching up with David at auctions.

My condolences to all David's family. David gave me an opportunity and through that I was grateful. David was a fantastic boss. Real estate in those days open homes went even thought of , David was always wanting to engage with you and offer advice. We had great debates about rugby, racing, and cards. I can say from my heart he was a good man. NP Old boys forever mate . Regards Haps johnston

Kim, Stephen, Ross , my thoughts are with you all on this very sad occasion from the days of David coaching our son for the first 15 at Spotswood college and many dealings with him as a Land agent, David was a caring fun loving person, who will be missed but never forgotten.

Over the years . David had a lot to do with my family lines and myself painted David house two or three times . I always enjoy chatting with David and talking lot about history in around Taranaki. One thing with David he always took a interest in who you were . Thank you David for being a friend to me and all those cups of tea. My Sympathy go to your family . A great lost. RIP David.

My Condolences to the Jennings family . I worked on the family home plumbing the new bathroom and putting in the new water tanks . I will always remember the hospitality from both David & Jennifer who always insisted on sitting down for a cup of tea & a chat . David was a great source of knowledge and a passionate supporter of rugby . I could see he was an avid gardener and keeps a very orderly property. He will be missed by all who knew him .He was a real gentleman.

Kim, Ross and Steven, we are thinking of you and your families during this incredibly difficult time. We feel privileged to have been able to call your dad our very dear friend. We have many happy memories and loads of pictures that we will treasure dearly. Another rock has left our special table Kim. We will continue to whitebait for you David and when the kowhai flowers are in the river we will dine with you in our hearts. We will miss you dearly David. Buckets of love Steph, Brett and Tom.

Very sad to hear of your fathers Passing, David and Jennifer made us most welcome whenever we passed by visiting Taranaki in our motorhome with our dogs. True hospitality extended unto us by you Ross and your family & Stuart. You were very lucky to have such great parents and we are sad that you have lost them both. Lots of love from us both.

I am so honoured to have known both David and Jenifer. Both such kind people who I became enormously fond of. I know David was loved and felt loved. I will miss him and think fondly of him.

I will miss him greatly when back home Downunder as we spent time chatting, drinking tea n sometimes a lunch. He was good at debating with me about life n politics or reprimand me for something I should have done or do. Rest In Peace my adopted dad/friend. xx

Coach Dave, thank you for your support, aroha and guidance throughout the years! 90 years young, go well in that race course in the sky! Arohanui, Bryn, Heather, Claudia and Monique.

Hi Jennings Family,
I would like to pass on our condolences from the Tulloch family. My dad (Peter) used to work with David at Newton King for a many years. I remember going to many a stock sale around Taranaki as a youngster and seeing David selling the stock and the vibe and banta around the farmers on the day.
Great to also to see the family at the rugby this afternoon.

The Spotswood College Alumni Trust wishes to extend its condolences to the extended Jennings family on the sad passing of David.
David was a great supporter of the College representing the school on the New Plymouth High Schools' Board of Governors from 1978-1980. For many years, David was involved with overseeing the stock for the PTA on the College farm.
David also coached the College's Rugby First XV for 5 years from 1977-1981. It is believed that the 1978 team has been the most successful in the College's history. A true gentleman. RIP David.

David was a reassuring friend t0 Bill when he started work at Waitara Freezing Works as Livestock Manager. Along with Peter and Barbara Grieve, David and Jennifer we met up each year, the girls walking, the blokes watching the races and rugby ; or travelling to Molesworth and the Able Tasman National Park. These catch up continued each year after Bill and Jennifers passing. The world was put to right each year, but somehow it needed readjusting the next year again!
Rest Well, David. Thank you for your true friendship

So Sad but a great life and he touched so many people. My wife Carol Managh remebers what a great friend he was to her parents and how he spent many weekends on the Managh farm. David has an amazing family which he was always so proud of. Our sincere condolences to Stephen, Kim and Ross and their partners. Carol, Gavin Matthew, Oliver and Edward Faull

Thinking of all of you, with fondest memories starting at Newton King ,up until today.RIP David a great family follows you and Jenny.XXFay

Sincere Condolences to all the Family with the loss of David.
Please no that I am thinking of you all xx

David was one of the best stock agents for Newton King Ltd during my time working for the company in the 1950s. At was always a pleasure acting as a booking clerk at the Awakino Yard Sales, as he had already inspected the stock that would be presented on the day. This meant that he had already graded the animals and had decided which pens they would be placed in on arrival. His dry sense of humour made him very popular with all who met him.

Thinking of you all at this sad time! May your Precious Memories be a great comfort to you in the days ahead! Take Care! Faye Magee and Families!

Deepest sympathies to the Jennings family, I worked for David when he owned Professionals Real Estate, and he was a true professional, honest fair and someone to look up to and admire. I will never forget what he did for me. Rest in peace David.

I was a member of Spotswood 1st XV 1977-78. David was the coach and Stephen was also in the team. Great memories of my 2 years under David. He left a lasting impression on me and I often talk about my time on that team. David was old school and my favourite memory is him telling me "make sure you keep the ball in front of the forwards"! RIP David Regards Kevin Doherty
