Oh Bugger !! Like many on the forum I am much saddened to hear of Dave's untimely passing .
To me, he was a skilled artisan who always undercharged for his work. But more importantly he was a genuinely nice guy, a man of his word and fiercely loyal to his friends ... He will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family and friends RIP Steve |

Dave was one in a million. This is the saddest news I have read for a long time. R.I.P. Dave.

Dave's Funeral
Like many I was sadly not able to attend Dave’s funeral, but am glad to hear those that did make it gave him a good send off. I am personally still shocked by the suddenness of it all, and even now am finding it hard to get my head around what has happened. Having said that, I have no doubt Dave will soon be putting his skills to use on the other side, and is probably now looking at giving those pearly gates of Saint Peter’s a good old renovation!
My sincere condolences again to his family Martin

Please let Andy know there's no rush in returning these badges, I wouldn't want to bother him or the family right now.

What shocking news.
A man who gave so much to this forum and its members - not only with his marvellous badge repairing skills but through his frank opinions, integrity and great sense of humour, with that rare quality of being able to laugh at himself. One of the most entertaining and highly regarded members on this forum. He will be greatly missed not only by those who had the privilege to know him personally, but by those from around the world who, like me, knew him only through this forum and the odd PM. My deepest sympathy and condolences to his family. RIP Dave - a true gentleman. |
