Heir Hunters star, David Pacifico RIP
« on: Thursday 21 June 18 12:57 BST (UK) »
This is just a quick message to some of you who may have watched Heir Hunters over the years and remember David Pacifico.

David unfortunately passed away on Monday 11th June after a very short illness.

I am attaching a link to our webpage where I have written a short piece https://www.fraserandfraser.co.uk/rip-david-pacifico/

David will be deeply missed, may he rest in peace

Neil Fraser

As an avid follower of Heir Hunters I'm so sad to read this post.   Your loving eulogy was a treat to read and mirrors what I always thought about him.

As I believe there is an afterlife, I have no doubt he'll be looking over your shoulder at the computer screen trying to pass on his thoughts.

RIP David Pacifico

I am so sorry to hear that, Neil.

David came across as a lovely man, intelligent in his field, and very enthusiastic.

Very sad news, he was so much part  of the earlier programmes, his absence was very noticeable after his retirement.

I am sure he will have been welcomed in the hereafter by the many people whose families he helped trace after their demise.

RIP David.
The programme wasn't the same after his retirement. Always seemed good humoured in a sometimes tense atmosphere. He always made Heir Hunters enjoyable to watch.

Thank you for letting us all know of this sad news about David and sharing your article. Never underestimate how much pleasure your firm's involvement - and by that I mean the people who are the firm - gave to the rest of us who watched.
