I am very sorry to say that Clavicembalo ( David ) died last Saturday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I PM'd him to ask how he was, and his sister PM'd me back and asked me to ring her.
David took a turn for the worse and died in hospital.
She said he had been very happy of late, and enjoyed his forum friends and get togethers.
RIP David.

Thank you for letting us know, The Old Lady.

Even though he hadn't been a member for long, he was a wonderful contributor to these forums, a lovely person in real life too, and he will be sadly missed.

Please pass my condolences on to his family.

I am so very sorry to hear this. Having met him on the last baroque day, I found him courteous, gentle, and easy to talk to, and he was a good muscian too.

My thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.

Oh my goodness gracious. What sad news. David will be sadly missed on here - he was such good fun, and such an interesting and inspiring member of the forums.

The recent forum awards are evidence of this !

Sincere condolences from us to his family and friends. Thank you for letting us know, The Old Lady.

That is very, very sad news. I was delighted to meet him and hear him play at Cardiff, and his contributions here were always lively and interesting.

I will miss him. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

How very sad for his family; my sincere condolences to them.

Had he been ill for some time? I didn't know David at all so I wasn't aware that he was unwell.

May he rest in peace.

Oh dear, what a shock. I was hoping to meet David as he lived near to me. I enjoyed his contributions and he was such an enthusiast. I'm glad he came our way...

WHAT!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

*checks date* Not April 1st... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) And I did notice it'd been very quiet around here lately so hadn't bothered engaging in the usual banter...

He was so much fun at Dyrham park and at the last Baroque day, he'll really be missed this time around - seeing him sitting at the harpsichord made me chuckle! I assume a funeral will be announced at some point - can we send flowers?

Yes- what a shock! I can't word it better myself and though I never met him I did enjoy his posts.
Please pass on my condolences too.

Shocking news. Does anyone know if there is a charity that was close to his heart for me to make a small donation?

Huggles to his closest family and friends. His contributions here will be very much missed.
