Funeral plans etc are TBC. I intend to attend if at all possible, and will update the thread as soon as I have any further details.
Thanks Aaron!

Absolutely

If you're able to speak to any of his family, please let them know that he was loved on this side of the pond. I'm very happy to have had the chance to meet him last year. He is missed.

That.
The thought of this is still making me sad. This may sound silly but it's as if this site has gone a lot quieter than it was before. Even before Aaron's announcement the pure absence of Oldrocker's posts altered the usual feel of this site and I was hoping for his return.

Yes. Never met him in person but feel I have lost another friend, and being older than him and losing other younger friends recently, it makes you think very deeply. 
Keep on rockin up there OR you'll be missed down here for sure. So long.
Quote: zooo @ 31st October 2015, 9:17 AM GMTI always looked forward to the cute pictures he posted on the cats thread!
Sadly, all the photos he's posted seem to have disappeared now. I guess they were on his server.

Dave's express wishes are that proceedings should be "light hearted" so casual dress & def. NO BLACK TIES please!
I'm hoping to go if I can. Anyone else?

Yes, that's our Oldrocker! 
Hi, I'm Dave's daughter.
I hope you don't mind, I just wanted to say that it is quite nice to see how well respected my dad was here. So, thank you all. Also, I thought I might mention that he didn't die of liver failure; he died from liver disease + pneumonia.
If any of you do attend the funeral/wake then it will be nice to meet you.
Thanks again.
Hello littlerocker, nice to meet you!
Not living in GB I won't attend the funeral, obviously, but nevertheless this November 23 will be a special day to me. Maybe I will put on a Status Quo record or something like that to commemorate Dave.

Hey LittleRocker,
Another member and I will be having a drink for Dave tonight. Apologies but can't make the funeral but so lovely you were able to see the messages on here for him.
L.E
Really sorry to hear the news. I'll see some of you this afternoon and we can toast his memory. Rock on Dave, rock on...
