An absolute gentleman, customer, and friend.
An inspiration from when I very first met him in the early 1980's
Rest in peace my friend

Sincere condolences. David or “Butch” as he was know in the watch trade, was a legendary salesman and an all round great man. Fond memories of starting my career with him in 1977.

David AKA Butch, we started working together in 1990 in WOS 16, New Bond Street. We were successful and professional, but we had fun… the good old days we called it.
You were a force of nature, your positivity, enthusiasm and passion were quite frankly astounding. You never ever took a lunch break, your day was fuelled by cigarettes and water…
The good old days you called it.
I have so many memories and stories, like your many toys and gadgets you used to bring into work! A favourite was the ring that would electrocute anyone you shook hands with.
Thank you for the journey and in your immortal words, it’s been emotional.

David was a true gentleman, always welcoming, kind and generous. There were many times i arrived at Carol and Daves door with one grandchild or another in tow. Dave always played with them. They all loved visiting him too! Rest in Peace Dave. I know you will be happy that you are now together with Carol again. If ever there was a true love, it was yours.

There have been so many, emotional and heart warming messages for dear David. I am so very proud, of my wonderful brother David. Sam had a wonderful role model, in his uncle David. We all have stories and memories of a strong, kind, warm and loving man. XX

On behalf of the directors of the Watches of Switzerland Group, I want to thank Dave ‘Butch’ for the incredible years of service.
He was a larger than life character, with an unbelievable personality and a fantastic sense of humour.
On a personal front, every time I met Dave, he had the biggest smile, always had a story to tell and was great fun to be around.
Best wishes to the family, our thoughts are with you.

From the moment I met my lovely father in law I knew he was special. What a gentleman. He had the best smile, the best stories (mainly watch related!) and an incredible ability to charm everyone he met. Thank you to David and Carol for the kindness, love and generosity you showed by welcoming me into the Butcher family. I’ll look after Dan, Simon and Pablo for you xxx
