Sad to hear this. I met Dave many years ago at World Net. I can't remember if I knew about his toe in advance or if I learnt about it there but I do remember wondering how it would affect him walking considering the amount of work your big toe actually does.Dave was delighted to show me his false big toe and said he was fine :-)Funny the things you remember 20 odd years later!Rest in peace Dave. I'm pleased to see that you have had the List's highest honour bestowed upon you - the footer section.Have a beer (or two) with Guy, mate.Maverick.Sent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: John Boocock <j...@boocock.net> Date: 09/01/2023 19:09 (GMT+00:00) To: leedslist@gn.apc.org Subject: [LU] Dave Dowden. Dear all,Quite a few of you will know that lister and member of the Leeds Lards worldnet team, Dave 'Lido' Dowden has been ill with cancer this past two years. His illness finally got the better of him late on Sunday night. He was at home with his family having turned what was a six month assessment into two very full years.Those of you who knew Dave would know that he was a devoted Leeds fan but there was so much more to him. He was a munroist, he enjoyed cycling, and took an active part in politics in Pudsey. In recent years he was a leading light in the Pudsey Greenside Greenway project. He also liked a good fire!A committed traveller, there were few places he had not visited and anyone who shared those trips will confirm that they were always er, eventful. He made many of the matches abroad during our most recent European campaigns and quite a few of us shared those trips. (Anyone going to the Barca game will remember him and Chris Fitz staying above a sex shop which they were convinced was run by nuns).I can not begin to list all the adventures, stories and mishaps he was involved in (he was short of a big toe after an accident with a lawn mower). One thing I can say is they were many. Maybe one day someone will collect them.Anyway, he now joins the other listers in the great list retirement home in the sky. Dave was a one off and will never be forgotten.
