    I'm desperately sorry to have to announce that Dave has died. He was 67 years old. I know some of you knew him better than me and will be shocked and deeply saddened at this news. From the few times that we met I can tell you he was a gentle lovely guy who genuinely deserved better than this. I have no details surrounding his death but he was being treated for cancer and we had exchanged messages over the last year. As far as I knew he was responding to treatment albeit very slowly. If you would like to leave a tribute to Dave you can do so in the link below.

    That is so sad.
    I know he was suffering some degree of pain last time I messaged him, but this has come as quite a shock as there was no hint in his messages that he was close to death.
    RIP Dave

    Only met Dave once, and I liked him immediately. Very sad news and I regret never seeing more of him.
    RIP Dave

    I met Dave a few times, and he was an absolutely decent bloke, even went to his house once for a coffee with FLT :(
    RIP Dave :(

    I never knew Dave personally only on here but I am still shocked. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts go to his family and friends at this sad time.
    RIP Dave

    Oh man, that is desperately sad news. We only exchanged messages recently as he was feeling pretty fed up with being in constant pain with his cancer.

    One of the gentlest, nicest guys around. A lovely man who will be hugely missed. RIP Dave <rose>

    I’ve never met Dave, but the years that I’ve known him on here he’s always come across as a kind, generous and gentle man. Really sad news to hear he’s passed and so young too. RIP Dave. You will be missed.

    Very sad news. Sounds like he was a very likeable person who made other people feel better for many good reasons. RIP Dave

    Still trying to take this in to be honest. I had no idea he was in pain or struggling with his cancer as he always seemed so positive when he posted on here.

    I just read some of the comments on the linked site, he was a much-loved man.

    Dave we’ll miss you mate. Rest in peace.

    Another saint gets his halo. Never had the pleasure to meet the man but he's one of us. A fellow saint. Very sad news. Rest in peace Dave, love to the family. I would love to be able to send some red and white flowers on behalf of all of us on this forum if anyone has details nearer the time

    Like quite a number on here, I never met him but through his contribution, I felt I knew him. RIP Dave!
