The memories of us all growing up with family around us.. so close we were as children and having big uncle Dave to keep us in check is something that I will remember. The times we used to all play together in your house in Tile Hill Lane..when there were fields behind the house.. the swing set and slide you had in the garden.. Time flies by so quickly and life moves on.. we travelled and moved away. Then I made it back to Coventry and then we saw more of you and Auntie Barbara.. Always taking our old car to Kwikfit so you could do the MoT.. Visiting you both over the last few years with my own special boys and bringing Auntie Barbara her cheese board gifts, as she prefers them to sweet stuff. Then the last couple of months visiting you in the hospital and the hospice, albeit it so sad, you kept up your strong will and Uncle Dave ways until the end. I am so grateful for the time me and my boys got to spend with you, although you got frustrated and annoyed when I could not understand your words. I will miss your presence and knowing that you are there. Rest now xx

Fond memories of happy childhood times together big brother love little sister - Di Xx

Oh what a happy childhood we had big brother. My first real introduction to you was when you tipped me out of my prom into the cold ashes dad kep outside the back door to put on the celery that he grew. As I was a real cry baby mum ignored it to start with then came out and found me on the floor Another time mum went round to Aunty Joan’s next door and you decided I needed a haircut, needless to say I has to wear a hat for a long time. Diane and I have both got eternal reminders of you. Playing stagecoaches and you swinging the big lamp that you have borrowed from the roadworks on the London Road around in the air and catching my eyebrow so I can never have even eyebrows. We dropped the manhole cover on Diane’s toe so she has one thick toenail. I also remember the marvelous Davy Crocket outfit with a fabulous hat that Mum made you for Christmas. I also member you cutting of Diane’s teddy bears head so she cut your teddys off. Another memory I have is of you and dad in the garage mechanicing your little lotus elan ready for you to race it on the weekend. You were the trailblazer for us both as you were the eldest and what a braves person you were with many happy memories of you David. Love to you always. Rosemarie x
