This evening, I attempted to phone an old-time Letterhead friend, Dave Grundy, and was informed by Shirley, his long-time partner, that he had passed away last October. Dave was a regular on this board and was always inclined to provide a helping hand to those who asked. He'd attended several Letterhead meets in the USA, and upon retirement, avoided our Canadian winters by spending those months in Mexico.
AKA: "Applicator" on the chat line. Rest in peace, old friend.

I really didn't want to hear that, but I thank you Ken for letting us know.
Dave helped me on several occasions as I am sure he did many others.
I sometimes wonder how many others we have lost that we don't know about.

Dave was a super guy. He helped so many people with Corel and cutting bridge programs. He was a journeyman body man and advised many of us on all things paint and prep. I learned early to never speak of fish eye remover. He is home with Si, Joe, Gavin, Steve and so many of the characters of the time. Rest peacefully my old friend.

I met Dave at Jill Welsh's Mars Meet in 2006 as well as Rapid Ray's meet in 2004. He was a good man!
RIP Applicator

Rest in Peace Dave.
I met Dave at Jills meet also, and have seen him at other meets.
Such a great sense of humor.
We spoke on the phone a few times about Corel and such.
I always liked hearing his stories of correcting the English on menus in Mexico, in exchange for drinks and a good meal. What a great idea.
So sorry for your loss Shirley.
Peace, Bob

Oh, so sad to hear this. I still think of that time I came to Canada and Dave and I and Ken Henry sat around the kitchen table talking the evening away. RIP Dave.
