    I've just heard the shock news that my old friend and sparring partner, Dave Dewar, G8NTE founder and operator of QSLFACTORY.COM has gone SK. I would speak with Dave on a regular basis exchanging news and views of all that's good and bad in the QSL card printing industry and I will sorely miss those chats. I hadn't heard from him for a couple of weeks which was rare and had quiet fears that something may be amiss but the news came as a total shock.

    Some of you may have orders pending and awaiting an email response, which sadly will not now arrive. I don't know the details of his passing other than it was sudden so his website is still currently live. I am contacting his ISP to try and get a message posted as Dave lived alone and there would be nobody, as far as I know, to tidy his affairs.

    Rest in peace Dave.

    I bought my cards from Dave and though I only talked to him on those occasions I felt like I was talking to a friend rather than a salesman.

    My Condolences to all who new him.

    I had my fears when a email went 2 days with no answer, not the norm for him. Dave was a good man and a honest printer. I only hope to find someone to replace him.

    Viya con Dios, Dave
