I will always remember my time working for David as the happiest job I have had. It was an absolute joy to work for him. My deepest sympathy to Lisa, Ben, Jamie, Lachie and Billy for the loss of a beautiful husband and father. He loved his family so much.

Tadge & I sat our patent attorney exams together, concocted the Royal Cup inter firm sporting competition together one late night at IPSANZ (which effectively ended when we both injured ourselves on the football field), found ourselves together at many an IPTA function, and our sons went to Scotch together. I will miss him greatly. A wonderful man and it is true only the good die young. Much love to Lisa, Ben, Jamie, Lachie and Billy. He will be forever in our hearts

Dear Lisa and family, please receive my deepest sympathies at this time of grief and loss for you all. David was my best friend growing up across the first 20-25 years of our lives. I treasure our friendship and the times we shared most profoundly. May tears of sadness and joys of thankfulness bless you as you find your way upheld by love in the days to come.
