Warm memories of years past for me as I learn of David's passing. Owen and I worked together back inte 70s- David was so supportive of him. usually 'the man on the door' at the Eltham Presbyterian church at most services, Owen would describe him as 'the head gardener of Eltham'.. Rest in peace David- my condolences to you all.
