Saddened by the news that David Bard died recently on his 56th birthday. It had been his legacy to inherit the role of Chelsea Hotel manager, following in the footsteps of his father and his grandfather. I can imagine that it must’ve been heartbreaking and devastating when that life-long dream was taken away. 

I didn’t know David well, but he was always friendly and well-regarded by the residents. Norman prides himself on his ability to make people smile, even the most reluctant. When I think of David now, it’s those moments I remember,  his lopsided grin that spread warmth to those around him.
