I first chatted to Dai when he was Welsh & willing back on FWI he helped to get Clare and I together and we met him once
He helped me alot over years.
Really nice chap
My thoughts are with his family
Rest in peace Dai

No need to be shy about death. There is nothing more sure that is bound to happen to us all and the circumstances will be different to each of us. Be happy for the life once lived and those that live today, rather than grieve too long for its loss.

Too true.

Celebrate the man's life, remember the good parts.

Rest easy GTB

Jesus. . . . i'd missed this.

I'd met Dai a few times, at various events and sales, he was a top bloke, a real genuine gentleman, softly spoken and kind. Also met his lads as well, both good guys. Over the years I've been on here, i'd had several Pms from Dai, especially when I was stressed or down and he'd picked up on it. Always offering some advice or kind words, in a really genuine manner. He was one of life's good guys, and i'm sure will be badly missed both on here and in the real world.

RIP Dai, go steady now.

Never knew the man but always knew when reading one of his posts it would be a good read, full of good opinions or advice.
RIP

It has been suggested that we send a message of condolence from the TFF membership to his family

Would anyone volunteer to write a few appropriate words that represent how a missed Dia will be by his many online friends ?

Also is there anyone on here that is in a position to pass such a message directly to the family

I am facebook friends with Dai's wife Jen so could message it to her by FB messenger unless anyone has a better idea ?

Not sure I would be the best person to word it ?

anyone else any Ideas ?
what do others think of the idea ?

Shouldn't tff themselves write this ???

Or am I missing something

We could do and would be happy to do so but thought best to ask opinion of members as maybe someone that actually knew him personally might be better qualified to write it ?

Yes but tff should write it wether you knew him personally or not.
He was a member who contributed a lot,
Be better coming from tff of how they knew him on behalf of the members.

Just a few words it's not that hard surely for you to type a few words of condolence, doesn't have to be an essay.

As I said in my previous posts we are happy to do so

But felt asking members opinion first was the right way to go about it, someone else may feel better qualified if they knew him personally etc vs just virtualy on here

Yes I know that,
Doesn't matter...

It should be a letter sent by post not some social media thing. And perhaps a donation to the charlity

Simple as that a perfect suggestion

 

[Clive]

ok, sorted them unless anyone has any objections, we will write a note and send it on behalf or the TFF membership

can anyone let me know an address via PM please to send it to

 

[marco]

Would it be an idea where we can add our real names to the letter? A more personal touch maybe?

On page 6 of this thread, there’s an obituary with address that someone posted .

 

[Hilly]

A proper letter is a great idea i think.

nice idea but in practical terms not sure how that could be done in time etc
