I have only just heard this tragic news.I am a former colleague of Woodys at Wirral BC, and taught him everything he knew when he was just a " wet behind the ears" trainee!
Sadly lost touch many years ago, but very upset to hear.All the best to David's family.
RIP.
To all our family, friends and colleagues for your kind words , support and generosity. In Dave's memory we have raised £425.00 for Kirkwood Hospice
Love to you all
Carol & family x
Well the time has come to say a sad goodbye to our lovely, loving and caring Dave. Dave you was one of the most genuine people I've known, it's been a pleasure to have you part of my family and you have been the most perfect husband/soulmate to my mum, wonderful grandad to Lucie and a real good friend to me and Lee. We will never forget the advice and the things you've done for us all over the years. Sleep tight Dave.
Love Claire
Goodbye to an amazing guy ...have many fond memories of our spontaneous visits to the pub. You were so caring and am privileged to have known you xxxx
Sending love to Carol and family xx
Goodbye to a very special friend and colleague from our years a long time ago at WBC - you were always mischievous and naughty, but always a gentleman, and funny and kind. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, and send all my love and prayers to Carol ... TCDLK x
To my uncle Dave, you are my childhood hero and I will never forget our times together. Every holiday with you was the best, and I'll always remember choosing to sit with you in front of the campfire, because you were always the warmest every time! So many amazing memories that me and the family will remember for ever. Love to carol and the family, from Chelsea x
My best buddy, pal, friend and rock through all the sad, happy, fun, poor, rich and crazy years. I have many photos of you most of which are of you asleep on the couch which make me smile but my favourite is the one of you giving me away to be married. I was so proud, I love you from the depths of my soul and our lives have been so blessed for having you in it. Rest well babe and like you always told me... what's in the heart stays in the heart.
My friend and work colleague has gone too soon, I'll miss him so much but my treasured memories of him make me smile. All my love to Carol and family at this very sad time.
So sorry to hear the news about the lovely "Davy Baby". He always had a smile for me at work when I called him that. Such a lovely man. Am truly sorry and all my love is sent to Carol and his family at this sad time.
Rest in peace Davy Baby

Extremely sadden to hear such news. I worked for David during the summer whilst I was still a student before I qualified. Warmest regards and condolences to Carol. Heena Xxx
Am so so sorry to hear this news. Absolute gentleman and great guy. My heart goes out to Carol I hope you find the strength to get through this. Thinking of you and the family st this sad time ❤️
Dave I knew you for such a short time, but in that time you welcomed me wholeheartedly into your family, and I thank you for that. You are now at peace, and may the love that surrounded you at the end, and the angels, lead you somewhere safe and warm. X
Some folk are lucky, they knew Dave a lifetime ! Terry and I just a decade as our best neighbour and pal. Cherished memories of happy days we shared at Throstle Nest where Dave loved to be with his life love Carol. We soon found out Dave was as handsome on the inside as he was on the outside and we're all the richer for seeing his wise ways, quiet compassion, subtlety, consideration for others, his humility, ability to listen and his sense of fun and appreciation of it ! Those were the things we came to know about our next door neighbour .... if the measure of a man's life is in those things... Dave scored tops. We'll always miss and remember you Dave. Xxxx
Dave, you were such a big part of my life for so many years. I will always remember the great times we've had.
I'm so glad you found happiness with Carol, but sad that you didn't get to grow old together
Most of all, thank you for being the best Uncle that Matt ever had
We will miss you so much xxxxx
mr avi woowar I used call you, you were a kind and caring guy and a great boss to me for 6 years you will be missed by all who knew you. Love Nic xxxxx
I remember the time when I was young, just me and you sat on the living room floor all night watching films and eating hot dogs and chips, you were the best uncle ever, miss you xx
Missing you does not come close to summing up the whole you have left ok n my life Dave. You have been one of my best friends for nearly 30 years, and fortunately I have many happy memories to call on to remember you. Rest peacefully brother.
