Thank you so much Andy for posting the pics of Dave and family, and the PC Pilot mag article. :cheers: Thoroughly enjoyed mulling over the pics of Dave. I love the one of Dave sitting on the sofa (with the dog) and I assume an infant Helen sitting on the floor. They both seem to be trying to figure each other out. Probably a raised eyebrow on both of them. :lol:

LOL I do know as I have been reading PC PILOT for past 6 years or so. I even complained to PC PILOT management last month that the bookstores were not doing good job stocking up latest issues and the issues were always gotten stolen or shoplifted probably by kids in bookstores thererfore depriving my chance of buying latest issues.

Ive been on another training course, which likewise
prevented me from attending.
I know what you mean, just haven't had the enthusiasm to do more than 5 minutes 'flying' myself since the news broke.

This one is definitely a tough pill to swallow. With Garry and Ian we could at least find some comfort in saying "Well, he's not suffering any more". With Dave's passing it's more like "Dave was taken from us! Life is not fair." I can only imagine Alison and Helen's pain. :((

To all on the CBFS.
I needed to post a message to you, just to say thank you. The man who was my soulmate, would
Have appreciated your kind words, and support for Helen and myself. I am glad our send off for him, met with your support . Dave was a truly kind man, who loved his virtual world, and all that went along with it.

Helen and I will strive to keep this link with him going, we are both finding it comforting at this sad time.
Meeting some of you for the first time and others again was really nice, even under the saddest of circumstances. I have received cards and messages from all over the world, again thank you .
You all have all helped his family realise what his interests and hobbies meant to others. His aunts, uncles and cousins appreciated all the lovely sentiments that Ben beautifully expressed on behalf of you all.
For now I will say ATB from a truly proud wife of an exceptionally special man .
AlisonB xx
