Messages of condolence

In the memory of a great Gentleman. Brenda Moore and family

Mrs Sue Davis

I taught David’s students for many years. He was held in huge esteem by all of us both for his support of the students and for his great contribution to conservation. He will be sorely missed and I feel privileged to have known him.

Dr Jenny Pitts

We’ll all miss David enormously but I think he would have approved of his send-off today. It was a really nice occasion and a fitting tribute.

Mr & Mrs Caroline & James Matheson

With fondest memories of David who made a huge impression when he supervised me as a very nervous New Hall “vet” back in 1975 - and continued to make a huge impression every time our paths crossed over the following 50 years. Always kind, supportive and made me smile!

Dr Christine Latham

With love and sympathy to Christine and the family. David was a great presence and will be sadly missed. Carolyn and Rod

Mr & Mrs Rod and Carolyn Maples

With great gratitude that I was one of his veterinary students, in admiration of his work and manner and remembrance of his office with the orang-utan painting. Condolences and best wishes to family and his friends and former colleagues.

Dr Catherine Williams

Our deepest sympathy Love Barry, Anne and family

Mr Barry Moore
