A huge loss of a unique wonderful human being x

Mrs Fiona Mcminn

David and I were two cheeky ginger-haired cousins growing up in the East End, united by family, fun and a love for Arsenal. Life took us on different paths we but we kept in touch throughout. We both made great marriages and whenever we all met it was full of fun and enjoyment. I lost my Janet a few years ago so I feel Denise's grief deeply. Rest in peace, David, you will be sadly missed.

Mr Dennis Leyhane

It was a pleasure to know you Dave as our neighbour and friend. You will be very much missed. Rest in peace

All my condolences. RIP Dave.

Mr Robert Maw

I'm not good with words and never know what to say at a time like this. However, I feel I have to say that Dave will be sorely missed. Dave was known by various names around here; "Dave the Fish", "Mr Jazz", or just "Big Dave". It was always a pleasure to share time with him as his jolly demeanor and warm heart always shone through. He has nleft a hole that will never be filled. Rich.

Mr Richard Jakobek

Rest in Peace Karen and Laurence

From knowing you for 65 years As we both went to the same school With a 30 year gap In between I was privilege to have met you again in billingsgate market You became such a good friend and my memories are of all the great times we had at Wimbledon tennis Arsenal England games at Wembley Where you always got our tickets You made me laugh continuously with your fantastic humour and personality Also as you said to me many times When you met your lovely Denise it was like winning the lottery Rest in peace mate I’ll never forget you

Mr Tony Lewis

I can still remember meeting you on the first occasion and you instantly knew I was a fellow Cockney. I will miss our walks and talks Dave, from now on when I sit on a bench I will always think of you and smile mate. Lovely Denise, we’re only over the road. Love Brig n Johno xx

Mr John Peppard

To my cousin David it’s hard to believe that you’re no longer here smiling and making everyone happy and the world seem a brighter place. Bobby and I had a lovely lunch at yours not so long ago and both you and Denise made us feel so welcome. Hard to believe that neither you or Bobby are here now. May you rest peacefully and look down on us as we celebrate your amazing life. Sending love to you from my family.

Mrs Valerie Wiles

What a dear friend and neighbour. We first bonded over our mutual love of Arsenal and Annette and I have wonderful memories of your very kind hospitality and sitting in your beautiful garden, laughing with you, with jazz playing in the background - such happy times. Our very sincere condolences to Denise. Annette & John

Mrs ANNETTE SILTON

From Australia: Messaging 9,000 miles away from Woodford Green. Sadness on the physical passing of my English brother-in-law, Dave Lewzey – in the full knowledge that ‘big Dave’ is viewing all of this with his well-beloved South-London wit & super engaging smile, having a good laugh on us! – what a good bloke eh! I met Dave on his very first of many visits to Australia, and I had the fortune of staying with Dave and Non at Monkhams for a short time in 1980. Dave mate, a better husband my sister could not have had! A clearly demonstrated deep Love between Dave & Non. RIP big fella. (And I will now tell Non about you cutting the electric cord when you were trimming the front hedge in June 1980! miss ya mate, Blue.)

Mr Marc (Blue) Sutherlin

Rest in peace, dear David. Dudley & Trevor

Dr Richard Hawkins

It has been an absolute privilege to have known Dave has a dear friend for over 50years. We have so many happy memories of his wonderful stories and fantastic personality. Our fun holiday spent together in Clovelly where we all cried with laughter. Dave’s generosity and hospitality when we visited the Lewzey’s beautiful home in Perth. Wherever and whenever we met our time was filled with love music and laughter. Bless you Dave, our great mate! Forever in our hearts ❤️❤️
