A neighbour, friend and boss whose empathy and encouragement have impacted my life since the first day we met in Dooley Street Warrnambool. The day he asked me whether I would help him out and teach a Psychology class the the next week at WIAE. A partnership that subsequently spanned many academic adventures. David, Ena and their children are remembered with great affection.

David was a long time ago friend through the Uniting church, music, and the wonderful days of WIAE at Warrnambool! I remember him as a gentleman, and a leader of WIAE, who was intelligent, warm, and always approachable! He cared about people!
May he rest in peace!August 21, 2025 11:23 am
