I was privileged to have David as a colleague and friend, such a gentleman, and solid support to me through some fairly difficult times. He was always there to advise and assist, with a smile and wry sense of humour. In the 90’s we were involved in a company takeover in Glasgow due to be a 2 day job, which lasted some 10 days. Neither of us was prepared for this, so ended up running out of clothes etc. The upside was that we enjoyed sampling a large number of single malts in the hotel bar. Fond memories. It has been a pleasure to have known David and I know he will be sadly missed by his family and loved ones. Andy
