To the Simmers Family, our most sincere sympathy at the untimely passing of David. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. He and Jenny were one of those special couples and we greatly value the friendship we had when they were in the Gore area. David will be very much missed by family, friends and colleagues from the organizations to which he belonged.

Sorry to hear of David's passing. He was my Sergeant in the King's High Cadets back in 1957. I remember him well and conversed with him at the last school reunion.
