That's sad news indeed! I'm grateful that I had the chance to get to know him and meet him in Boston and Madchester. My condolences to his family!

Some families have so much tragedy - :-( With the passing of Anne Yates this week (who I think lost her husband and children) and now Dave who lost his wife Gaye suddenly a few years ago, it just doesn't seem fair.

Like Peter, I met Dave at Boston and Madchester and he was a joy to know, a genuinely nice guy. Too many leaving us too soon...

Another sad loss

Hazel & I had the pleasure of meeting Dave and Gaye once only at Boston in 2010. They were a delightful couple and very pleasant company.
We are very sad to hear of Dave's passing.

Paying a rare visit to the website to see how everyone is getting on. I'm very sad to hear that news about Dave. I met him a few years ago at Madchester and he was just such a lovely person. My condolences to his family and friends.
