As soon as I saw the heading with Dave's name I had a sense of foreboding. so so sad that my fears were right.
I knew Dave for over 45 years, since the old London Road days, and Cuddy's Away Buses. Although I lost touch with him in the 1990s I was lucky enough to have made contact with him again about 20 years ago. To those who didn't know him personally, he was exactly as you'd imagine him to be from reading his posts on here, funny, slightly nuts, but a really genuine bloke with a big big heart.
I'm raising a glass to you now my friend, you're one of a kind, and will be missed by all that knew you, no more running round Swindon with your willy hanging out for you!
And you never did give me that bloody book back!
RIP Dave, another legend gone to this awful virus.
