It was interesting reading about the Boston towers in the recent Ringing World.

I am writing to pass on the news of the death of David G Andrews, one time captain at The Advent, Boston. 

David was doing post-doctoral work at MIT during the late 1970s and rang at Advent at that time. Although he was a somewhat reluctant ringer he was very capable and told me that he was in fact captain for a short while soon after ringing started to flourish. Perhaps Geoff Davies and/or other older ringers would remember him.

David learnt to ring at Ringwood in Hampshire, near to where he retired about 10 years ago after a career in meteorology at Oxford University.  Unfortunately he had done little ringing in recent years.
