First met Dave and Shirley 15 years ago at Ratcliffe Allnighter I remember thinking what a snappy dresser he was, always took time out to talk to people. A true gentleman that will be missed by so many.  Sleep peacefully David. 

Our thoughts are with Shirley and family at this sad time.  Liz n Pete 

Dave and I used to take the mick out of each other relentlessly, usually over football. We went to see him in hospital last week, I cannot believe he is no longer with us, he was in such good spirits.

Rest in peace my old friend, thoughts and sympathy to Shirley and his family.

Love Martyn and Carol xxx

same as the above, only  a few hellos passed between us at various venues but a familiar face at many events.........r.i.p

Rest in peace my friend, we go back many years and had many good times mainly at nighters like Blackburn, Winsford,Keele etc. always a true gentleman and soul man. Thoughts go out to Shirley and family. Sam Moore and Jeanette x

Another Gentleman of Soul sadly passed on and a thoroughly nice guy who always had time for you, and was always constant, he will be missed but always remembered, 

God Bless Shirley and family

Likewise. Its amazing how many people you recognize on the soul scene without knowing them. Condolences to family and friends. 

Oh dear,that is very sad and upsetting news indeed.

Knew David very well, always talking with him and Shirley at various venues,

always dressed smartly and always had time for everyone,a true gentleman in

every sense.

Will miss talking to you Pal,rest in peace

mate.

 

Love and Sympathy to Shirley and Family

at this very sad time,Ron. XXX

 

Always easy to spot in the crowd and always a happy, smiling man who loved his soul music.

Our sincere condolences to all, God bless
