David was a war baby and a champion cyclist in his youth. He came to The Bahamas from Brighton, England, answering an advertisement from Henry Melich. He provided for his family as an architect specializing in residential homes. He was also an accomplished artist known for his watercolour paintings, several shows, and a mural in Chemainus, Canada.
During his 87 years he worked in the United Kingdom, New York.
Vancouver, and The Bahamas.
David enjoyed his free time cycling around New Providence in the early mornings, taking family boating trips on “Camp David” to Rose Island, the occasional family holiday to Hattie Cay, Exuma, and afternoons with friends Don Boorman and Jake O’Brien enjoying several cold Becks after a round of golf. More recently, the boy’s trips with his sons and grandsons to see his brother and sister in the UK, and a few years living in southern Ontario created great memories. David turned 87 last November and enjoyed his last Christmas meal with family in December.
The family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Crispin Gomez, Dr. Duane Sands, and Dr Don Deveaux.
