That is terrible news. I never met him, but 'knew' him through his posts and his enthusiasm and thoughtfuless always came through. Thank you for letting us know.

He will be missed as a forum member and I expect more so by family and friends. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Was looking forward to meeting him in Birmingham.

I am shocked and saddened. I have never met the guy but I feel really upset. I was just thinking how quiet it had been as he hadn't been posting. I enjoyed his posts and I was so impressed with the way he shared all the ups and downs of his diploma with us - so helpful for the rest of us who aspire to taking a diploma at some point.

Condolences to his family.

Very shocked and sad.

He made such an impact on the forum, and in such a good way.

I'll miss his wit and humour, his enthusiasm for maths and music, his kind help to me over piano matters, and in person he was a lovely gentle giant.

RIP David - you've brought your own light to a lot of lives both here and elsewhere, and you'll be remembered with much affection.

I was just thinking, that as a teacher he will have touched the lives of many, and his love for music and mathematics will doubtless have inspired many of his pupils. The passing on of his infectious kind of enthusiasm to others is not a bad thing to leave behind and be remembered for. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'm so glad he got to perform on his namesake to a bunch of us forumites. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap.gif)

RIP David. If there's a "heaven", then maybe he'll relish the challenge of learning harp! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Thank you for that, Solari! laughing here and shaking my head even as I type.
I had missed that first time round - (May 22 was also my daughter's wedding day).

RIP David.

I am in total shock! He was such a lovely and fun person, he will be missed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I will always remember us discussing Albeniz at Dyrham Park and him playing several of his pieces after our conversation. He was a great pianist, an excellent sightreader and a wonderful person.
RIP David. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) and sincere condolences to his family.

What terrible news (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I never met him person, but his posts were always a pleasure to read.

RIP David

For those who never met David, here he is doing one of the things he liked best - playing the piano, the photo being taken in the Great Hall at Dyrham Park last April. He played Happy Birthday in the style of lots of different composers, including Schoenberg - very clever, and very entertaining!

(IMG:http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q293/happyjazzy/music%20forum/Dyrham%20Park%20Apr%202010/IMG_0948lr.jpg)


And here he is at the pub afterwards. It was the first time he'd met anybody off the forum, but he took it all in his stride.

He'd been looking forward to going back to Dyrham Park at Christmas to perform with Fred Chopin and Clara Schumann who he met at the April event.

I still can't quite take it in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

That's very sad news indeed and he'll be very much missed round here.

But I'm also glad that he enjoyed being part of the forums and meeting everyone and playing.

What a tragedy. He clearly loved music and the forum. His insights here will be missed by many. Rest in Peace, all thoughts to your family and friends. If there's a heaven, its full of piano's I hope!

Desperately sad to hear this. He was a lovely person, and a talented musician too. What a pity he didn't get his Diploma before his untimely passing.

*Cries real tears* RIP David xxxxx
