DAVID PERKINS

Many of you who have been with the society since the early days will remember the name of David Perkins. Sadly, he passed away on Sunday 13th December 2009 after battling cancer for many months.

Those of us who knew him will wish to send our condolences to Maureen and the family. On behalf of the society I have sent a card but if anyone wishes to do so personally but does not have a contact address, please let me know and I will provide same.

David was one of the early members of TWASI and served on the committee looking after the interests of the various regional groups which we had at the time. He was very much a larger than life character, enthusiastic, irrepressible, known for speaking his mind which sometimes got him into ‘hot water’.
On top of this he was also a very talented artist as you will see from the paintings included here. Not only will he be missed greatly by the art world and those who knew him but most of all by his family.
