Today at around 5am, although his spirit was still strong David’s body decided that it couldn’t cope with the pain and suffering anymore and gave up it’s fight after a courageous three years and two days. Dave died peacefully in his sleep, and we are sure that he is now enjoying a Leeds Rhinos Veterans game at the Headingley in the sky.
