Shared to the Hairy Bikers’ social media pages, Si included a heartfelt tribute to his best friend.
Alongside a smiling photo of Dave, a snap of Dave embracing his wife Lili, and Si and Dave together, he wrote: “Hi everyone, I’m afraid I bear some sad news. Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years.
“Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own.”
Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment.

Love ya.
