Unfortunately I never met Dave in person, and it's obvious I really missed something. That shines through in everybody's posts. John visited the UK a few years ago, and remembers meeting him.

He sounds like someone you wouldn't forget easily, and he will live on for a long time in the memories of those who knew and loved him. Sending my thoughts to you Linda, and family.

SunnySister, thankyou for posting the WH Auden poem. I love that one.
