Just adding my sincere condolences here to David's family and to his friends. He was generous with advice and his wit will remain legendary. A kind soul who will be missed in these pages for certain.

Terribly sad news.

Although we never met, through many an entertaining chat online I quickly recognised David to be a very fine fellow.

Rest in peace David. My condolences and thoughts to Louisa, family, and friends.

It was the least I could do mate, a direct link to what I wrote can be seen if you click here.

For a guy who most of us never met including me, he was hugely popular man.

RIP mate

Oh my. What can I say that has not been said already. The Zoom calls are not the same without him (and Louisa's TV in the background).
Miss your wit and wisdom.

Sad news for all of us, David.

Your gracious and unpretentious posts were a pleasure to read and will be missed by all I'm sure. Not to mention your groaners which were often so awful they were funny. Thank you!

Rest in Peace,
Webbo

I've had an enforced absence from our Forum for the past few days. When I was able to look at it again this morning I saw this truly awful news.

My condolences to Louisa.

David was a continuing source of enthusiastic encouragement to me and little parcels would occasionally arrive, containing something for Poppingham which he thought I might enjoy.

One of the marvellous things about our Forum is that one can become good friends with someone that you haven't actually met. At least, met in person. But with David, there was most certainly a meeting of minds.

Goodbye, Friend and Modeller. You will be much missed but never forgotten.

John

it was always a good day when a PM arrived from him, usually with the subject 'not for the forum'
a true gentleman, almost always first post to read had to be the daily groaner, no matter what was going on, the day grew brighter and better.
he will be sorely missed.
if NGF ever create a hall of fame, he should have pride of place.
