Just heard about the passing of Spook (Dave). Far too soon for a man who always had a smile on his face.

Also came to post this but wasn't sure how much to share here.  Such a shock from seeing the completely normal regular updates through various platforms until a few days ago to the posts and news this morning.

I ran into him by accident in the local park in January while he was on way home from work on his bike. We said we'd catchup for a beer, but never organised it :(

seriously unbelievable.
 
  
  
 I actually met Dave through this very forum well over 20 years ago and we became solid mates, coached his eldest boy in footy in 2023 and literally spoke to him on Monday about his lad not playing anymore and getting his P's One of the great blokes anyone has the pleasure of meeting. Such a sudden and shocking development, still don't know what happened other than it being a terrible accident :(  |

   I came back for the same reason. I only saw the news this morning on FB. It really came as a shock. No idea what happened but it must have been sudden. Sorry to lose you Spook. RIP.  |
