Sad day for the detecting community...Dave passed away...please pray!

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....a very sad day as my very dear friend and digging buddy Dave (aka The Bardman) passed away on Saturday. His daughter phoned me early this morning.

The good natured bantering about the virtues of the Whites over the Garrett.

The down to earth level headiness in all things that are life.

Coffee at Tim's.

The long drives and conversations while going a digging.

The twinkle in his eyes everytime he saw a playing field or a road sign for a school.

Thursday at Sidelines with Raftaman, Leslie and the rest of the crew.

His favourite line. "I see Les your going around the field like a drunken sailor!"

These things I will miss. Can only hope that you are up in the big schoolyard above swinging away.

For those that knew him a bottomless void now exsists.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d605b3127cce9392f03ed24b00000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

I will pray for his family, but also for you as his friend. I know there is a hole there for now! For that I am sorry my friend!

...I remember the many stories you wrote about your adventures with The Bardman. I'm sure he will be missed.

Praying for The Bardmans family... and you.

Tough to loose a buddy. The emptyness that can't be filled except by the good memories! Just know that God is in control.
