When our daughter Kate first moved to London from our home town of Plymouth, the only person she knew was her friend Adrian. He (Dave) took both of them under his wing and looked out for them which was reassuring to us as her parents hundreds of miles away. A few years later when Kate was rushed into hospital and subsequently died, he was an absolute rock to us as a family, coming along to the hospital to support us and later travelling to Plymouth for her funeral. It was such a shock to hear from Adrian that Dave had died and our thoughts and prayers are with his family now. He will be sadly missed by everyone whose lives he touched with kindness.
