   Your message, Paul, has come like a bolt out of the blue. What a shock! Though Dai had clearly been sufferering with ill health for many years to learn of his death through a car accident was so unexpected.

   Dai’s strongly held views, on a whole host of issues, made Dai, Dai. He wrote what he believed from a place of conviction and would back it up. On one such issue on which we were poles apart he recognised that my position was as equally a strong point of conviction and though this and related issues cropped up in his Daigressing’s blog from time to time afterwards we never fell out about it.

   His anecdotes of his early life in S Wales, his beloved Cardiff City and strident views on the present Bluebirds always made interesting reading.

   His loss will be felt deeply, not only by his wife, Larissa, but equally amongst those who had the privilege of knowing him personally and those who, ‘knew,’ him through MaYA and his Daigressing posts.

   On this esteemed blog, I guess there will always be the unanswered question when certain issues crop up viz: “I wonder what Dai would have thought?”

   Dai, it was good to, ‘know,’ you.

   May his memory be a blessing.
   RIP Dai.
