Dear Susan, Rachel, Sarah and family, so very sorry to hear this sad news.

I will always remember the excitement he showed over opening a shiny new instrument to measure forces with (he had of course made the previous one himself from the leg of a metal table!) and the relentless questions which he then endured from the class, and to which sometimes it would take three or four lessons for him to finally say “so that should now answer your question”

Thinking of the happy times together, growing up during primary school days.

He was an inspiration and our thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.
Deepest sympathy to the Clarke family and to Davids sister Valerie (Val) and all the extended family. We had the pleasure of meeting David a few times and he was just a lovely gentleman. Thinking of you all at this very sad time.
To Sarah and family, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Sincere condolences, may he rest in peace.
Sympathy to Rachel your mam and sister on the passing of your Dad RIP 🙏
RIP Mr Clarke. Fond memories of his reassuring presence in Morgans in 1976 as a KH 'newbie'. Condolences to his wife and family.
Deepest Sympathy to the extended Clarke family on David's passing. I first met David as housemaster at KH in 1980. As mentioned in a previous condolence, I was thinking of the Geigner Counter in the Physics Lab in 1986 after the Chernoby disaster, which made physics relevant to daily life at the time. His methodical approach to problem solving was a firm grounding for future life. May He Rest Peacefully.
Our sincere condolences to Rachel Susan and Sarah along with the extended Clarke family. We have fond memories of your dad going back through the years . Your daddy was a gentleman, you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace David
My sincere condolences to Susan, Rachel, Sarah and family. Dave was a wonderful, kind colleague with a ready smile. When I produced plays at the beginning of my teaching career, he took charge of the sets and was totally unflappable. Nothing was too much to ask, including making a reclining barber's chair for 'Sweeney Todd'!
To Susan, Rachel, Sarah and family, my sincere condolences on the passing of David. Thinking of you all at this sad time.
A wonderful teacher and role model for teenagers who were lucky enough to be taught by him. Double physics on Monday afternoon got a boost in April 1986 after the Chernobyl nuclear accident; David had the Geiger counter out for weeks and tracked the nuclear cloud as it passed over Scandinavia. Great memories; great man. Jcaird
So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Stanley knew him as a student in Mountjoy School in 1960, then later when he taught our children in King's Hospital. As a parent and governor in KH Ruth knew him for over 30 years.
He never changed, he was always a perfect gentleman.
Ruth and Stanley Miller.
Heartfelt condolences to Susan, Rachel, Sarah and the Clarke family at this very sad time. May David rest in eternal peace.
Rachel, sincere condolences to you on the loss of your dear father. David was a great supporter of Eden Chorale, especially at Christmas time when we performed in Carbury Church. He was a kind and true gentleman who will be greatly missed by all.
