Sad Occasion
It with sadness that i have to announce, the passing of our dear Friend David Williams , he was a good Friend to me and will miss him and his Posts dearly.
I only found out this per an Email sent to Brian, from his Daughter.
So another one that has passe through the Gates, and i feel far too many are going this way now.
However i guess its about the time now for many of us to get ready for the one thing that no one can change.
Rest in Peace Dave, may you have calm Winds to fill your sails and take you to places you so once loved.
With respect and sadness
My Sincere Condolences to Molly his dear Wife and all his Family.
Good Bye Friend.
PS: When first joining the site, Dave was well know as "Daisyhop" , some may well remember!

Re: Sad Occasion
Hi Vernon
That has come as a bit of a shock, Dave lived not far from where I used to live back in Wales, was on the same pool and we may have met many years ago. My condolences go out to his family.
Rest in peace Davy lad may you meet with calm seas and a fair wind.
