Gracepoint Methodist Church, Glenferness, Johannesburg
Good  Morning everyone.
My name is John Mucklow from Melrose Lodge and I have been asked to say a few words. I’ve known David personally since 1993 and in recent years stayed on the same farm so have included a few personal reflections.
Firstly, thank you to the family for agreeing to include this tribute.  On behalf of Melrose Lodge may I extend to you the most heartfelt condolences on your terrible loss. Please know that everyone here today is shocked and devastated, understands your ordeal and shares in your grief and mourning.
Melrose Lodge is where David was initiated to Freemasonry in the year 2000 and he was master of that lodge in 2006-7. He went on to pursue a vigorous Masonic career. During his time he was an active member of both the Holy Royal Arch Order,   and the Mark Master Masons Order, as well as the Order of the Secret Monitor and the Operatives side degree. Well respected and highly thought off, he became a District Grand Standard Bearer and this year was District Assistant Grand Secretary. He was my proposer for both Melrose and Prosperity Mark Lodges.
Freemasonry was not just an abiding interest in his life, he was passionate about it.
District responsibilities require travel and the visiting of the many of the Lodges in the District and he was meticulous in the tireless discharge of these duties. We will miss his loyal and steadfast demeanour and dedication.
There will be an opportunity at the end of this service for masons to pay a final tribute, which is a traditional symbolic gesture, that of laying a sprig of acacia, which is an evergreen, to mark the grave of the recently deceased.
A Book of Remembrance is read every year at the January meeting of Melrose Lodge. Sadly, David’s name will be added to those who have served the Lodge so well and passed on to the Grand Lodge Above.
David had some subtle qualities and understood some subtle things. He knew that the ability to keep secrets is a test of character. No one could keep a secret better than David. A man must show he can be trusted with little before he can be trusted with much.
He was a patient man and patience is the beginning of wisdom.
He had kindness in him and kindness is the beginning of love.
David had a great sense of humour. He appreciated a good joke and could tell one too. Sometimes his material was a little dusty and this was one of his several charming eccentricities. We at Melrose got used to seeing him at our croquet day functions in his white Panama hat. Croquet brought out his competitive side as did chess also.
He died  tragically as a brave unarmed man defending his property. A life certainly interrupted, possibly unfinished.
The light of a master mason is but darkness visible, not very bright, shaded by  a mysterious veil which the eye of human reason cannot penetrate unless assisted by that light which is from above. Let us be careful to perform our allotted task while is yet day.
Some of you may remember the Fall Inn, a restaurant near Lanseria airport which he started and ran for some years. During its time it served many bush pilots of the era with what were fondly called ‘last blasts’. He often enlivened our festive board with these, together with his jokes of course,  and I hope when you leave here today you will find an opportunity to raise your glass to him and drink one more ‘last blast’.
David would have liked that.
Thank you
Master 2006|2007
