Hi I've name changed for privacy but I would really appreciate some help with the wording of an entry in a book of Remembrance

Basically this is what I've got so far (obv I've changed some of the details )

-------

Jones, David

1/1/1955 - 3/3/2024

Enjoy endless rides on your beloved Delta and wait for the next release from the Imaginary Number Crumpets.

Inserted by : his children Julia, David and Bethany and their mother , Susan

Am I missing a comma / full stop etc . Have I missed a capital letter ?

Should the band name be in quotes ?

This thing gets hand written with, I presume, some sort of quill, so I need to get this right !!!

thanks

Sorry - explanation was just to cover you if anyone said you had it wrong! Lots of options and choices are fine here.

Your last version is perfect and it sounds as if it will look beautiful.

You’ve written 1st January 1966 but your previous posts say 1/1/1955.
