I struggle to put the significance of David into words. Both the significant contribution he made to the public (who might not know it), to the people he worked with, and to me personally. And harder, to reflect this in words. David had a particular respect and mastery of words. It took dedication and time, when most public servants were no longer at the office. I think of Deidre, Issy and Jack who shared David with his work. We share your loss now.
