DG Lion David Green   ~  18th December 2004

Total of 57 Contributions - - THANK YOU

I was deeply distressed to receive the sad news that DG David Green had passed to "Higher Service".

He will be greatly missed by us all at International, District and, I am sure, Club level.

We must give thanks for all that David achieved through his Lionism, both in the local community and, in the wider world and I know that he was immensely proud of the District Convention just four weeks ago. It was also good that he could go out on a high, knowing that the District had supplied the MD winner of the Peace Poster Contest.

In the circumstances, I believe David was very courageous to serve as governor and it is sad that he was not spared to serve out his term. Certainly his colleagues were most grateful for his valued contributions to the Council of Governor Meetings.

Obviously, I have written to Pat to express condolences to her, but please pass to your District, the sincere condolences of the Multiple District on your and our sad loss.

Yours in grief and Lionism,

Lion John Goodchild

Chairman, Council of Governors,  MD105, British Isles and Ireland

All members of Banchory Lions Club are deeply saddened by the loss of David. We want to acknowledge how much we each have gained from David’s ‘take’ on Lionism and how proud we are that he was a Banchory Lion.

He and Pat have been true guiding Lions to us and Lion Pat’s strength and commitment through this difficult time have been very evident to us. We offer Pat and her family our support and condolences and we would also like to thank everyone for their messages of sympathy to our club, they are much appreciated.

A great man, a great Lion and a great loss

Dear Lion Pat,

Dot & I fully agree words cannot do David justice.

We have never met a braver man, nor a woman either.

The last year must have been very hard for you but you never showed anything but true love & support for David.

We have nothing but respect & admiration for all David has achieved & both Dot & I are proud to have known him.

Kind regards & condolences to you.

Dear Council Chairman John:

Thank you for your E-mail of December 18th. 

We are indeed sorry to hear of David's passing.

He was a true and dedicated Lion and he will be greatly missed in District 105NE.  We enjoyed spending time with him, he certainly fought to the end.  We are happy that we were able to be part of his Village Convention which went off so very well.

>Lioness President Heather Brown and the members of Ashington & District Lioness Club send their deepest sympathy to Lion Pat and her family at this very sad time.

It has been an honour and a privilege to have known and worked with David and Pat over the past couple of years.

David was a great leader and an extremely brave man who bore his illness with dignity and courage to the end. He never once complained or made excuses but always had time for others and suffered what must have been many painful experiences in silence. In the presence of others he always joked and made light of his obvious problems. Our sincere condolences are extended to Pat and family and Banchory Lions.

David will always be remembered as a fun guy and a great ambassador and credit to our Association.

Goodnight God Bless David
