1970's OOs

David lived in Birmingham for several years and in 2005 moved to South Wales which he loved, often greeted by sheep at his front door!

He worked as a Director of his own Double Glazing company for most of his working life, becoming self-employed later in life.  

David always loved trying new experiences and was a bit of a daredevil, gaining his bike licence and becoming a qualified sailor and shipmate after turning 50. He was a much loved father, and spoke fondly of his school days.
