David’s career in the housewares industry included T&G and his own company, Avanti Housewares prior to over a decade as sales agent for many leading suppliers.

Among the many tributes to David are the following words from fellow sales agent, Kam Loqueman: “My friend and confidant for over a decade, words cannot express how much I’ll miss David – especially our meals out at shows, where we chewed the fat of the industry and usually a good steak. For someone who was heard of hearing, he was a fantastic listener! David was full of support and encouragement through hard times and praise through good times, and was such a dedicated servant to the housewares industry. He leaves behind a legacy of a wealth of love and good feelings towards him. He was a true gentleman.”
