    A very brave man. Saw him walking past The Oak a while back and got him over for a beer. He was always very open about his illness and faced it head on.

    RIP Dave

    I never met him, but knew of him from this site, I didn't know he was behind Drinking During the Game blog.
    I'm so very sorry to read this very sad news, this disease has taken yet another good Addick. My thoughts, prayers and condolences to his family, friends and those of you on CL who knew him personally. RIP Sir xx

    He was a Big Man with a Big Heart

    Knew he was ill but this is still a shock.

    Lovely guy and a committed Addick for years.

    RIP Dave. I only knew him through Drinking During the Game, but reading through the posts by his many friends on here goes to show what a wonderful man he was - seems as if everyone he touched thought him a great guy. Thoughts with his family did many friends.

    I didn’t have a clue that Dave was ill. Like so many, truly devastated by this news.

    Dave was one of the good guys. 

    RIP big man

    I’ve just been reading Drinking During the Game.  Very punchy and well written.  Wish I’d found it earlier.

    Rest in Peace Dave

    Sent him a message last month. Very very sad to read this earlier this morning.

    A really upstanding man with a very sound moral
    compass.

    Remember driving through the City seeing him working, stopped and had a woe is us Charlton chat....

    A gentleman and will be missed.

    So sad, even more so given how young Dave was taken. Condolences to his family and friends for the loss of someone who was, from learning from those that knew him, so clearly well liked and loved.

    RIP Dave

    I had the pleasure of meeting Dave on one of the rare occasions that @Chicagoaddick and myself were back in the UK at the same time. Came across as a really decent guy and I was a regular blog reader both before and after that, though I hadnt realised he was also Cardinal Sin.

    RIP Dave.

    Very sorry to read this. Met him once when he was doing the food bank thing before a game.  RIP Dave.
