David Brooksbank died peacefully at Norfolk & Norwich University hospital on April 5th 2010 with his son John and daughter Angela by his side. For 3 years he had been struggling with emphysema. He enjoyed a successful career in the commercial aviation industry throughout which he travelled the world and accumulated a wealth of fascinating experiences. After 5 years living in Africa (working for British Caledonian Airways), David was awarded the MBE for his services in Uganda. He was a keen follower of cricket and loved classical music. Whether singing in his mother's choir as a young man; playing the piano at home or simply listening to music, his musical appreciation was always a great source of inspiration for him. Throughout his varied life he gathered many, many good friends from all walks of life and from all around the world. He was the proud grandpa of Grace, Jack, Eva and Frederick. David leaves behind lots of very happy memories.
