David Speed died of a Coronary Artery Thrombosis due to Arthurosclerosis. Lifestyle, according to the pathologist. His arteries were 90% furred up and he had already had a heart attack some time recently which he probably wouldn't have actually noticed. I am told that furred up arteries have to do with smoking and cholesterol. So we all know what we need to do if we are to try and eke out a few extra months. On the other hand do we want to eke out any more time. We know this life is no rehearsal so perhaps we should just get on and enjoy it.
I shall post details of the funeral on this site once I have them.

David's partner Jules is a Jules as opposed to a Jools, in case anyone would like to know. Not that Jules has ever said that she is concerned but I have been asked by a couple of people who want to make sure they get it right when sending cards and so forth.
Talking of getting it right, I have been getting it wrong. I unfailingly give Sally, a box of Ferrer Roches chocolates on every Birthday, Christmas, Mother's day and Valentine's. She always gets a proper present but the chocs are part of the deal. Or rather they used to be. After 12 years she announced the other day that she didn't like the Ferrer Roches chocs, and never has. And that she always gives them to the kids. I knew the kids always ended up eating them and I was always furious that she should let them overwhelm her so and steal her special chocolates. So, I have been told.

It is a sad day. The man who was my friend, who took over my life without question when I had my accident, who gave to me and my family unconditional love and support and who set up this website so that friends could monitor my progress, has died. It is believed he had a severe heart attack early this morning. I hope it was sudden and that he did not suffer in pain. It is a terrible shock for all of us but the shock and trauma for Jules must be enormous.
This site was used by David to encourage people to pray when I was going through the dark days and I would ask that you say a prayer to your God or spirit for David and for Jules and for the family to help them at this time. David Speed was one of life's characters. He was the most extraordinary friend to me. I am very sad that he will no longer be with us.

Duncan I am so sorry for your loss, I haven't been looking at blogs recently. I spoke to David after your awful accident, he phoned me and we chatted for good half an hour. David came across as a caring and loving friend, I know you will all miss him greatly
The loss of a good and close is very hard, I know all too well, I lost two of my closest friends in September 2006 in a car accident.
You are all in my prayers and thoughts.
Dave
