So long 'Pervert Dave', you'll be sorely missed... we think.

Apart from incredibly mean and evil individuals, the subjects of most obituaries earn glowing tributes from their friends, colleagues and peers immediately after their death, even if there’s often some slight exaggerations involved. Whoever authorised the obituary of the recently deceased David W Cummings in the Tampa Bay Times couldn’t have been his biggest fan, however, because even if he was widely referred to by the nickname mentioned below, we don’t think it’s something he would have wanted in his obituary. pervertdave If it was meant as a touching tribute, it certainly didn’t have the desired effect, although, to be fair, ‘touching’ is probably the wrong word to use under the circumstances.
