Many years ago David became our rowing friend and dentist. We got to know him a lot better when he was rowing with Wentworth. David had an awesome sense of humour and a heart of gold. Marita bought David’s wooden scull when he said he was selling it as he had grown out of it!. The scull is still in the Woods family lovingly looked after and has many trips out on the water. Over the years we have all gained many special memories of times spent with David. Sincere condolences and love to all the family from Cecily, Stan,Trent, Loriann and Marita. 💞
