    Sad news

    It is with a heavy heart that I have to pass the news that Dave Booker (DaveB) passed away yesterday morning (16th).
    A truly decent bloke and a great friend. He will be sadly missed.

    We had our differences on many an occasion but I am sorry to hear of this news. Too many familiar names are leaving us. Too many, too soon.

    I second Baz's thoughts. Too many sad departures. Dave was another valued member of our community that left us too soon.

    R.I.P. Dave

    I'm very upset to learn this terribly sad news.
    I must admit to being surprised we didn't chat yesterday about HMS Queen Elizabeth arriving Portsmouth. I thought he might be away on holiday.
    I have not been on SOH long and in that time I made good friends with Dave as we shared a passion for all things Royal Navy. He was also very helpful about ships, aircraft and everything. A friendly tone of writing and fairly expert about a fair few things. I shall miss him much.

    Rest In Peace mate.
    Fair winds and clear skies.

    Very sorry to hear the news, Dave was just one of those folks that when I saw DaveB associated with anything, I wanted to see what he had to offer. Rest in peace Dave, you will be missed.
