Beautifully done John
A sad loss - i have mates who still think South Leeds runs on a pork pie
based economy
David's Lards performances will remain legendary - even when he prepared
for them by cycling there - from another country

Thanks John,
A huge loss…any man that can negotiate years of parking at ER at the
cost of a pork pie a time, is a genius…twisted perhaps, but a genius
nonetheless.

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.
Betty
