Hi all,
I'm David's son John and thought I'd pop along and personally thank everyone for all their kind words and cards.
Hunting, stalking and shooting, pretty much anything to do with firing projectiles at high speed, was always a huge part of my fathers life and as a side result also my brothers and mine, he will be very, very sadly missed and I know I speak for the rest of my family when I say that he enjoyed every single moment of it (even when he was cold, wet and humping across the fells) and that winning the B&N custom .243 was one of his proudest moments, he couldn't quite believe his good luck, as HWH will testify; as soon as he saw the gun, he was in love.
While he only had it a short while, he was absolutely positive that it was a "one holler" and had been zeroing in on the perfect round for the the next competition.
I'd also like to thank Hubert (HWH) for all his support and advice over this very difficult period and without his help we would have been a bit lost at sea, many thanks.
I'd also like to say that for all the years that my father had known Hubert, he has been a staunch and treasured friend, my father really did look up to him (he would never have told him though), I (and my family) will always be grateful that my father had as good a friend as any of us can only hope to enjoy.
Best Regards.
John Latimer.
