LizzieM 9,507 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Kath, that is such terrible news. He’s been through so much in recent months with different medical issues but fought it all bravely and usually with humour. I personally will remember Chulla as a very kind, friendly and caring man, and one of the nicest men I’ve ever met. We will all miss him so much, he really got us organised for meet-ups too, bless him. Thoughts are with Linda and his daughter Barbara, and of course you Kath. Sending my sincere condolences and love to the family. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hi KJ. I'm truly sorry to hear this news. I always liked and respected Dave. Even on the odd occasions when we disagreed it was always good natured. We shared a liking of music and his poetry was always a good read. Not too mention all of the beautiful pictures he posted from time to time. He is truly a great loss to Nottstalgia and will be really missed. My sincere condolences to all of his family and friends. Dave. LL. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to send a sympathy card, I would want to address it fully though. Not sure Mrs C would be appropriate Thanks Dave. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,534 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Sorry to hear this. I had noticed that he hadn't signed in for a few days but still something of a shock. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 We are so sorry to read this news Katyjay. Both Chris and I thought a lot of Chulla, as I am sure, so many other Nottstalgians felt the same.. He bought a lot of enjoyment into our lives, with his humour, poetry and knowledge on many things. It has been a pleasure to have met him and Linda. Our condolences to Linda and Barbara, and yourself Katyjay. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,281 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 A tragedy to his loved ones and for nottstalgia. A lovely man with wide interests and a benevolent outlook.

catfan 14,793 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Such awful news, I know Dave wasn't well but he fought to the end. My most sincere condolences to Lynda & family, not forgetting katyj of course. Until the big meetup in the sky Dave, God Bless you. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I am so sorry for your loss Katy, my condolences are sent to you and all the family and I will hold you in my prayers. It was such a shock to see this on opening the Forum site, we knew he had been struggling bravely with his condition for some time but didn't expect to read this news. He was a great contributor to the Forum with a fund of knowledge on so many topics and his admin skills in controlling members for meet ups were formidable! We will all miss him and I am so glad that I was able to get to the meet last October and shake his hand. Graham. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
