The following tributes have been received from Rotary Melbourne members.
David was a well loved member of the Toorak 1 Group all of whom will miss him terribly.He was a beautiful man and had a great personality. He will be sorely missed. - Mary Barry.
What terribly sad news. I had planned on calling David tomorrow if we were to win tonight to suggest we wear our Demons scarves next Wednesday . He has been a wonderful Rotarian and incredible contributor to the Melbourne Footy Club . Hard to comprehend that David won’t be watching his Demons tonight. Special memories - Peter Dakin
What sad news. Always the gentleman and a delight to chat with – particularly when he had a twinkle in his eye talking about his beloved Demons. Timing can be so unkind! - Bob Glinderman
It is with a heavy heart when I think of David not being around, not being able to take a phone call nor appear on our zoom meetings. A kind and gentle person with a warm smile, David left his mark and I am one of many who are forever grateful for knowing him. - Kevin Sheehan
