The Spotswood community is deeply saddened by the passing of David, the much-loved owner of the Spotswood Licensed Post Office. A familiar face and friendly presence to so many, David was a constant in daily life for generations of locals and will be greatly missed.

In true Spotswood spirit, the community has come together to support his wife, Frances, during this difficult time by holding a charity raffle, with generously donated prizes valued at over $4,000.
