dave the jobber
A brief message for those of you who knew the lovely dave the jobber, from Christchurch, New Zealand. I regret to have to say that he died this morning after a long illness, but with his friends with him around the clock and when he was ready to depart this life for one with less pain. It seems so strange that a man with such a zest and passion for life has departed it, but at least he leaves the world a better place for his having been it in. Such a lovely, charming, funny bloke, and such fun to wrestle. I shall miss him hugely. Rest in peace mate.

2022-07-27 01:10A "thumbs down" from someone? Why? Someone, evidently with no decency or sense of what is appropriate.
I know and respect "Squashlad", a dear friend. I have no knowledge of Dave but am sorry to hear of his passing.

R.I.P. Dave

2022-07-24 05:22I never met Dave in person but he was a lovely man through our many chats over the past year. He never complained or dwelt on his illness. He showed a real strength and grace through it all. I will miss him.
