Dave Kitchen passed away suddenly at 68, leaving behind a deep sense of loss anda world of memories. He was the kind of person you could reconnect with instantly,no matter how much time had passed since the last meeting. Dave was a belovedcolleague at St Johns House, a forensic service for people with developmental disabilities inNorfolk, England. Tributes have poured in, filled with stories of his humour, music, love ofrum, dancing and fearless travel. His global adventures, often to remote and risky places offthe beaten track, and his inimitable way of writing about those were, for many, a source ofjoy and awe.
