I received the note below today from a friend with news of the passing of David Larlham:
Just a quick email to let you know that we have received the sad news that our esteemed brother David Larlham was called home suddenly this morning following a heart attack. But we rejoice that he is now “with Christ; which is far better” and has heard those blessed words “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”
I know that all our hearts will go out in deepest sympathy to Monica, the immediate and wider family, and to David’s “church family” at Camberwell, who we know he loved so dearly.
I have been sent this link to the last sermon that David preached at Camberwell, only just over two weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Further details concerning the funeral will follow as they become available.
It was my pleasure to meet David and his wife Monica last September while they were on vacation in the area and attended worship at CRBC.
I did the interview below as WM 131 with David in which he gives his testimony and tells of his career as a banker and then his second career as Assistant to the General Secretary of the Trinitarian Bible Society:
The interview makes clear David's love for his family, his church, and the Bible as the Word of God. Most importantly, it provides a clear testimony to his faith and hope in Christ.
"absent from the body ... present with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:8).
