Good evening Martin,
I attended David’s funeral today where I estimate there were approximately 200/250 other people but regrettably only 5 of us representing his business colleagues – 3 from Dover, Steve Buhlman from Newhaven and me.
However I managed to obtain details of the Undertakers:-
Donations, in memory of David, for Cystic Fibrosis Trust may be sent c/o Masters and Son, Masters House, Lewes Road, Lindfield, West Sussex RH16 2LE.
See you in October,
Regards,
Terry.

Good evening Peter,

I have just been notified by our Marine Officer’s Club that David Barwell has passed away and wondered whether Sealink Retired Staff were aware because David was well known to a great many people.

The only information so far is that the cremation is to be at 13.30 on Thursday 29th September at Worth near Haywards Heath.
If I hear any further details I will pass them to you.

Regards,

Terry Conybeare

David Barwell was appointed Superintendent Engineer-in-Chief to the newly formed BR Shipping and International services Division in 1968 when I myself joined. This appointment carried on through Sealink UK Limited and under Sea Containers ownership. He was a really nice man to work with and very courteous. We are very pleased that in his later years he renewed his interest in SRSA and enjoyed coming to our meetings. In his leisure time he rebuilt dozens of sports car engines! We shall miss him!
