Thank you Lesli,

He left a lot of friends around this community of S-Type owners and admirers. We will miss him dearly.

Thank you all to everyone that has passed on such kind words and thoughtful support. We have received, read and loved them all. My mum is finding strength in these words, memories and prayers. Dad loved his 'S' second only to his wife. He cherished talking to you all and helping everyone anyway he could. Thank you to everyone, -Lesli (David's daughter)

My thanks also go to Tom for passing on my brief letter to the family. It kept bouncing back by e mail. David's reach was far & broad.

Well, I realise my words will be a little late and I apologise for not visiting sooner to learn this sad news.

Yes, like many members of the forum and the S-type Register, I've had many discussions with David in recent years, particularly in my quest to make my S-type as accurate as I can reasonably get it. He was always charming and helpful, sending photos of obscure original bits on his car that I sought images of and bringing to mind where such topics were covered in the Register Newsletter. I know we'll miss his encyclopaedic knowledge, not just of the S-type itself, but of the newsletter archive and all the knowledge around the car's design, manufacture, selling and marketing.

My condolences go to Patricia, who shared so many of David's S-type experiences, and his family.

My condolences as well. He was truly the consummate S Type advocate and promoter.

Sincere condolences to the family from the Isle of Man. I've only been a member for less than a year but exchanged several chatty emails with David. God Bless!

Such sad news. I came on to get some info and was shocked by this. I missed seeing David at a club drive last weekend - I had a question for him about my S-Type. He was such a gentleman and an irreplaceable source of Jaguar knowledge. He will indeed be greatly missed. My condolences to Patricia.

So sorry to hear this, he will be sorely missed as his knowledge and enthusiasm for our cars was immense. My thoughts are with Patricia and family.
