It is with a very heavy heart that I am having to write and let you all know that Dave Booker (DaveB) passed this morning 16th August. His daughter managed to get hold of me tonight, and as you can imagine they are all devastated, as am I. Dave, Alison and Helen are a great, strong family, and I really don't know what to say. I have no information to share at this stage, but I will keep you all posted. The world has lost a very fine gentleman indeed, and will be much worse off without him.
*UPDATE* 17/08/17
Chaps, I've spoken again with Helen tonight, and they would take great comfort if any of you wish to attend Dave's funeral. We don't have a date as yet, but it may be the 31st August, but very much subject to change. Obviously ill keep this thread updated.

Hello all,
Helen has confirmed the arrangements for Dave's funeral. It will take place at 10:30, Thursday 31st August:-
Streetly Crematorium,
296 Little Hardwick Rd,
Walsall,
WS9 0SG.
We need to get a confirmation of numbers together in short order, and the easiest way I can think to do it is a poll, otherwise we'll be trying to find out in individual forum posts.
