DAVID MICHAEL HOSDON

Published on 05/10/2016

Thank you to everyone who attended David Hodson’s memorial service on Friday 16th September2016. David Michael Hodson 24/10/42—26/8/2016 How best should we remember David? His never ending fund of stories about legal practice and his time with St John Ambulance? His love of a good party, as all those who attended the firm's Christmas parties and barbeques will confirm? His rather salty language when confronted with the vagaries of modern technology? His near illegible hand writing? That suit {loud blue check} last seen at the Christmas party in 2015? His good humour, his genuine fondness for the people he worked with, his ability to light up a room as soon as he walked in? David's life illustrates that with hard work, dedication and some stubbornness, much can be achieved. The secret of his success was his constant optimism, even in the face of serious setbacks, and his conviction that all would be well in the end. David will be sorry to have missed seeing everyone on the 16th Se ptember 2016, thank you to all of you for the many, many cards and good wishes (not to mention the cakes!) which were sent to him during his illness. He also enjoyed the company of all those who came to see him. He asks that you all raise a glass or two to his memory and to remember that life is to be enjoyed, not merely endured.
