It's so sad to read Dai has lost his battle against myeloma, especially when he had just had the chance to try a new promising drug. He had such a natural writing talent, which he ably used when offering such wise words of wisdom, knowledge, support and hope to members on the forum. I'm pleased he had the opportunity to spend some time with the people he loved during his recent farewell party. It's comforting to read he passed in comfort, peace and dignity with his family surrounding him. He will be sadly missed.
Love Jan x

Wow. I've just logged on and have been shocked and saddened by the news. I always assumed Dai would outlive me as he was such a great fighter. He has been such a stalwart on he forum and always had time to give detailed explanations on things. Great source of information.

My condolences to his wife and family. He has been a great inspiration and I will not forget that.

Just like the last few posts, I have not being visiting this site for some time now. However, the news of Dai's passing has come as a shock and great personal sadness. Nonetheless, the sad news is tempered with the knowledge that there are very many wonderful and lovely people who contribute to this forum and I am sure that Dai's family and friends (including his Cyberfriends) are consoled by the many justifiable tributes paid to him.

Dear Janet and family,

I’ve had trouble logging in and have only just read this very sad news. To you all I send our condolences. Dai’s ability to paint a picture of his circumstances, even when they were some what messy….cdiff stories, could always inject a sense of humour. He was so encouraging and enormously knowledgeable. These words don’t articulate the high regard in which I held Dai and the gratitude for the support he wrote when Colin was going through his treatments.

Our thoughts are with you

Vicki and Colin x

Dear all, and especially Dai’s family,

I’m very late to add my condolences. I think in some way I didn’t really want to believe it was true, and like others have said it was such a shock when I read the sad news: Dai was such an institution on here. Since that’s how it came across even in messages on a forum and never having met him, I can only begin to imagine what a character he must have been for all of you who knew him in ‘real life’, as it were. You must be missing him a lot, and left with a big hole – but also a lot of very fond and vivid memories! It’s great to see the story in the paper and read a little of what else he’d done.

Many thanks to Dai – as to all the others on the forum – for all the words of wisdom given even during the toughest of times. I didn’t think myeloma would ever get the better of him – but then again he clearly wrung every last drop out of life and kept fighting on to the vrey last minute the latest drugs would allow, so in that sense I don’t really think it did, he definitely came out on top.

All the best,
Helen
