Sadly a nasty cancer (which one isn't) normally stemming from the bile duct, the same as my late mothers!

A very sad time indeed for his family and also a huge loss for this community.

To my mind he was a very astute, intelligent and extremely witty poster and one who always made an objective response to many issues he was absolutely passionate about.

We will all miss his humour and his erudite postings.

I've been asked about Charities that people may want to donate to in David's name, and so I asked Kari (Davids wife) who suggested "In the US, The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation. In the UK, AMMF ..."

Kari has the link to this thread so will be able to read the messages posted here, and should anyone wish to email her directly please PM me and I will pass along her email address, she would love to read your memories of him.

I am so sorry to hear this. It's quite shocking. My condolences to his wife and family. RIP Fatbrit :(

Re: Fatbrit
 
I feared the worst as soon as I saw the thread title, that and him not being on here for a little while now.

I think many of us will miss his many and varied contributions. A man of wide knowledge and strong conviction, he seemed often to be able to cut through so many issue to the heart of the matter.

He gave me (and many others) good advice when we were considering buying our home. Of course over the years, we've had our differences. My sincere condolences to his wife and family. Like many others, he made BE whatever it is.

Re: Fatbrit
 
I never even knew he was sick. My deepest sympathies to his wife and loved ones. He always came across as knowledgeable, and I enjoyed his sense of humor many times. :( His contributions and personality will be sorely missed.

Us, minions, are not allowed to have animated avatars - I was going to do the same thing in honour of David.

Right click and save to your computer...then upload to your avi...but unless you are a premium member you may not be able to as it's an animated avi.

Probably my problem. I'll take care of it tomorrow in FB's honour. To which he would make some sardonic remark.

Indeed he would.

If I remember correctly...non premium members can use the avi...but it won't be animated.

In his honour I am using my HP laptop...using Windows 7 and not an iPhone or iPad.

You can save it as a static .gif and upload that. I considered upgrading to Premium membership (and still may), but on balance I think I'd prefer to send the $$ to the cancer charity in his memory, and adopt the static .gif for a while. :)
