Devastating and tragic news

[mashman]

I am afraid I am the bearer of tradgic and devestating news.

Last Monday night/Tuesday night, David Preston aka Fray from this forum, was tradgically killed as a result of a road traffic accident. I was with him until late in the night, I left early as I had work the next day. We had a great night, doing what most people on here do best, having a drink and playing the machines, this all pales into insignificance. I was contacted at work and informed of this tradgic news today.

I know most people on this forum knew Dave and respected him as a long standing player and user of this forum. I know everyone will join me in mourning his death and even though his friends or family will probably not read this, my sincerest best wishes go to his family in coming to terms with the loss of a great guy.

RIP Dave

I made this thread sticky as lot of people will have known him.

My thoughts are with his family and friends, he was a good guy and too young to die.

May you rest in peace.

Sad News, didn't really know him personally but read a lot of his posts around the forums. Thoughts go to his family and friends.

I knew Dave Preston quite well through gambling and school.

He was hit by a taxi driver as he was at a crossing in Watford.
It's very tragic, he was finishing University in a few weeks and had a good life ahead of him, it was taken too easily.

You probably all chatted to him about gambling.
Gambling aside, he was a good person.

I am going to his funeral today at 11:00am.
