I live in Ireland, he lived in Dubai. I hoped we'd meet again but that wasn't to be. My loss. I didn't know that he had died until spring 2019. trevorstoddart@gmail.com Trevor Stoddarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041923143892227105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829162137963866383.post-71503097965560961402019-03-02T14:04:35.802-08:002019-03-02T14:04:35.802-08:00You utter, utter bastard.

I didn't even know he was ill.<br /><br />Dave I met in the 19th Hole at the Montgomery Golf Club, his choice of venue for a job interview. We recognised kindred spirits, and from that day onward I loosely worked with or for him on a variety of projects. He certainly made me a better magazine editor.<br /><br />That he is no longer with us is a great loss. He had a wealth of stories about computer magazines and the vicissitudes of publishing in London in a changing media world, he was a friend and confidante of very many chefs in Dubai and further afield and his culinary knowledge was encyclopeadic. Mine will be one of a multitude of glasses raised in his memory.EyeOnDubaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599441309027509658noreply@blogger.com
