David was married twice. His first wife, Annette (nee Fyall), was a nutritionist who shelved her career to partner David in the first half of his married life. They had two sons, Edward and Eric. All three are currently living in Sydney. David’s second wife was Rhonda (nee Mackie) and she sacrificed her artistic and architectural careers to care for David through the second half of his married life. They had one son, Jonathan, who, with Rhonda, lives in Cambridge. David, in many ways, epitomised ‘an Alleynian’ shaped by the ‘Dulwich Experiment’. His life was powered by a deep unbigoted Christian faith. Scion of an Empire family defined by service (civil, church and military), David was proudly British, culturally embracive, ethnically colour- blind and socially classless. He had a visceral hatred of injustice of any sort. Above all, David was not afraid to think differently and, through re-interpretation and re-definition, confront and expand social boundaries of behaviour and academic limits of knowledge.
Stephen York (1969-76) 21.03.1958 – 06.08.2011
Stephen York came to the College in 1969 and afterwards went to study for a Law degree. After graduation he joined Slaughter and May and soon became a specialist in construction and engineering disputes. He worked for a number of different law firms during his career, including Masons, Hammonds and Reed Smith, and spent much time in Asia and the Middle East as both an arbitrator and a litigator. He also served on the panel of the Dubai International Arbitration Centre. In February 2010, he joined Hogan Lovells as their head of Middle East Disputes, but died after only 18 months there following a brief battle against cancer. Stephen married Kathy and they have several children who all survive him.
