simplythemostimportantkick Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Very sad news. Always remained positive on here despite the illness. Hope we can make him proud this season and get promoted in his memory. Didn’t know him personally either but will be sadly missed. RIP fella.

disjointed Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Sad news, even though this was not a shock it is still upsetting. An absolute gentleman who it was a pleasure to spend time with in the course of a football season. Deepest condolences to his family especially Chris, who is his father's son in his pleasant manner and measured outlook to life. RIP Dave.

Bristolatic Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 This is such sad news, even though we knew it would happen one day. I don't think I ever met Dave or Chris, but felt I knew Dave through his posts and blog. Always a good read whether on here or the blog. Deepest condolences to Chris and all the family. Sleep well O4U, you will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Always sad when one of our own leaves the pitch. Probably a reminder that we should try to be a bit nicer to each other even if we don't always agree with each other. RIP Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, there's are a few I've had strong differing opinions with on here, but if met in reality would probably get on well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 One of the more reasoned posters on here. Would bump into him regularly in Tescos. faced his situation head on, lived every minute he had left to the full and is a much braver man than I could ever have been in dealing with the fate that awaited him. A true inspiration. The Latics family diminishes further. Good night God bless Dave, thoughts with Chris and the rest of his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosa Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Struggling to know what to say, really. Dave's determination to make the most of the time he had left was (and I can picture him rolling his eyes at the word) inspiring, and he never lost his (often dark) sense of humour. What a great loss. His lad Chris is doing the Shine Night Walk for Cancer Research UK, you can donate here: https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/chriss-giving-page-228 And Dave himself was very keen to raise money for the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/david-stringer2 Edited July 18, 2018 by rosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Very sad news. Thoughts go out to Dave's family and friends. Thoroughly enjoyed his contributions to OWTB over the years and full of admiration for the style in which he spent his days after his diagnosis. RIP Dave.

pukka Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I don't post on here that often any more, but have been on here for years. O4U was one of the best contributors to this forum over the years. I didn't know him personally, but felt like I did through his posts. Very sad news. Thoughts are with his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcassist Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Very sad news, R.I.P. David, my thoughts go out to the family at this time. Having lived with death when Barbara (my wife of 43x years) died of MND 5x years ago, it somehow feels a cloud has been lifted but the loss just pulls at your heart forever. Will miss your posts pal..... Lofty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
