Having met David many years ago, before he won Basildon, I remember his rare quality of warmth and friendliness with humour while still showing that he was taking my views absolutely seriously. His upbeat humour was never used in a dismissive manner, and whilst he commanded my respect, I thought him too nice for politics. He was! That’s why he devoted himself to his constituency! Essex gained a fine man, in David Amess, and now Heaven has gained a fine soul. Long may you be remembered down here David, for your example to humanity.
