I was googling David today about memories from Liverpool University Medical School and was very distressed to learn of his death.
He was was so good to me & my father, Mansel, a Family Doctor, for whom he carried out the occasional evening surgery (clinic) in Anfield for him during his Anatomy Demonstrator and Surgical Registrar days.
He was especially kind and understanding when my father was dying of cancer, and was really kind and understanding when my father died just before my final year.
He was very supportive and gave me and my mother such thoughtful advice
My memories of him include his politeness and consideration and his immaculate dress code, especially when wearing a dinner jacket (tuxedo) at a formal dinner or dance, resplendent with the broad scarlet sash of the exclusive Medical or university
Oneophile (wine lover) Society across his broad shoulders.
I wish my Canadian wife and my children could have met him.
