Born in Liverpool on 24th June 1946, David lived a life defined by dedication, skill, and quiet determination. He began his career as an Engineer in the Merchant Navy, before working as a Machinist Manager at James Pringle. He later spent over 20 years as a Laboratory Engineer at Bangor University, where his technical expertise, problem- solving ability, and willingness to help were greatly valued by colleagues and students alike.
David was a devoted husband to Barbara, and a much-loved father to his daughters Hannah, Michelle, Anthea, and Jocelyn. He was a proud and cherished Taid to Kyle, Joseph, Cadi, and Aimee, all of whom brought him immense joy.
Outside of work, David's true passion lay in the restoration and enjoyment of classic cars. He took great pride in both the craftsmanship and the journeys that followed, finding happiness in the details, the engineering, and the open road. David will be remembered as a kind, thoughtful, and generous man, always willing to help others. As his family fondly say, "if it was broken, Dad could fix it." He shared his knowledge freely, and his calm presence, practical wisdom, and willingness to help will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
