Hi. Apologies if this was posted earlier, but I didn't see it when searching.
I'm sorry to report that Dave Stewardson, who posted here as Big Dave, passed away on 29 August at the age of 74. The Canadian fire buffing community isn't large, but Dave was a large figure within it. He took photos across the country, and as evidenced by his activity here, was always happy to share his work and information about Canada's fire trucks. Dave was a terrific guy by any standard, a real gentleman and good friend.
The full obituary is at https://passages.winnipegfreepress.com/p...DSON_DAVID. There will be a gathering to celebrate Dave’s life at Johnny’s Restaurant in Winnipeg on 28 September from 2 to 5 PM should anyone be in the area and wish to attend.
