Dave was such a gentleman, lovely guy to share a table with. Even in the face of his illness which he knew was terminal, he remained super positive, and showed such grace against adversity! Today is a very sad day! Rest in peace Dave, i know the community will miss you. My thought are with his family!

Title: Re: Sad News: Dave Smith Post by: redarmi on January 01, 2011, 03:30:05 PM Oh no. Very sad news. I only played with him a handful of times but he always remembered my name and whenever you sat down he would say hello and welcome to the table and had a way of making you feel welcome. Lovely guy.

My thoughts are with his family. Title: Re: Sad News: Dave Smith Post by: kinboshi on January 01, 2011, 05:07:56 PM Sad news. RIP Dave.
Title: Re: Sad News: Dave Smith Post by: EvilPie on January 01, 2011, 05:17:17 PM Dave was one of the first named poker players that I ever spoke to when I started playing at DTD.
What a true gentleman this guy really was. He always made time to say hello and see how I was and I classed the guy as a good friend rather than a poker aquaintence. Obviously everyone knew this was coming at some point soon but it's still a big shock. Gutted is the only word. A real loss. RIP Dave. Title: Re: Sad News: Dave Smith Post by: ChipRich on January 01, 2011, 05:21:10 PM Sad news, shared a table with him a few times. Was always good for a bita banter.

Title: Re: Sad News: Dave Smith Post by: JK on January 01, 2011, 05:24:49 PM Nothing I can say that hasnt been said. He was a fantastic member of the Poker community, one who had time for anyone and everyone. A lovely man, sadly missed...

Title: Re: Sad News: Dave Smith Post by: action man on January 03, 2011, 01:29:41 PM last time i saw dave was at the £330 at the start of december. he didnt look too well, so instead of my usual "how are you", i instead used "nice to see ya , mate," think he appreciated that, and im glad i got a chance to let him know i enjoyed his company.

Title: Re: Sad News: Dave Smith Post by: OldKingCole on January 04, 2011, 10:45:17 AM I first met Dave Smith about nine years ago at Owlerton I believe. I shared a few tables with him over these few years and learned to respect him greatly as a player. More than this, Dave was one of the great gentlemen of poker. Many will miss him just as much as I will.
