David was a kind guy. When he lived near (or in) Soi Suksabai, he was a valued friend to an American expat whom I knew well This man was was suffering a desperately difficult last few months due to terminal cancer and financial difficulties. David was always there for him, visiting him in hospital and arranging his funeral.

I remember David from his appearances at Panorama but never knew he was an entertainer. RIP

Peter Wall, partner of David in Oscar's and other bars posted this:

·"Many of David’s friends have asked me about funeral arrangements and flowers etc.
He planned this many weeks ago and it will be a ‘simplistic’ funeral. There will be no family and friends in attendance.
David will be cremated at 8.30am UK time on Friday 15th October and perhaps we can all take a few moments to reflect on the life of our dear friend. "

David never stopped entertaining, in or out of costume.

A comment by one lovely member of the Venue facebook group really touched me and I thought it was worth sharing here:

Aw, now performing at the Venue in the sky, don’t RIP, blast ‘em with Heaven, I’m in Heaven.

Will there be Gays in heaven?
And dancing cheek to cheek?

Better be or I'm not going.

I respect that David wanted to keep this modest but surely he would appreciate a memorial party later in the year when we can all be back in Pattaya.

And dancing cheek to cheek?

Dancing to a certain ABBA song, perhaps?
