Perhaps family reading this will remember David and his home made electric bass guitar?John Guy, Ken Breadmore and myself had such fun playing together in our band called 'The Shadows', predating Cliff Richard's own.

Very sad to hear about the loss of David. He was always such a fun person, and someone who we have thought about and talked about for the last 55 years or more. We met in our latter years at Queen Mary's School, but lost contact soon afterwards. I still have a picture of him from the Basingstoke Journal from those early days, and it is with this picture I still see him. And yes, we did practice in his father's garage at Hele Close, and yes, his well-liked Father taught my wife Pat (nee Caffyn) at The Shrubbery Junior School. Thank you David for such happy memories.

Hi
Sad to learn this news.
I grew up in Whitchurch and clearly remember playing as boys in his home
Where his father (teacher at junior school) had rigged up a crystal radio set,
Wires everywhere,funny how memories like this are so vivid from 65+ years ago.
Great guy.
I wish you well and peace of mind through this difficult time.
John Caveille.
