Morgardee - RIP
« on: May 23, 2024, 10:25:02 AM »
I was informed this morning of Dave's passing in early 2024. 

https://erbgood.com/tribute/details/16925/David-Mumby/obituary.html

For those that don't remember, he was one of the guys part of CanJoeCon staff years ago.  Most that went to the JoeCanuck conventions would have ran into him. 

My last interactions with Dave was going to his house to pickup the 3 3/4 GI JOE figures from the GI Joe Collectors Club.  He basement was full of Joe stuff.  He use to blame me for bringing him over from the 12" collecting world to the 3 3/4 world.  lol.  Nothing but good memories.

I am still processing this.  I got to know his wife and kid over the years. So the news hit me hard when Jon S texted me about it.  51 years old is far too young to go.

WOW, that is a bit of a shock.  He was well known to anyone in the early days of JoeCanuck. My condolenses to his wife and family.

Just WOW!

Wow that is terrible news.  I do remember him somewhat from those earlier days.  His pic jogged my memory a bit, but I wouldn't say I knew him.

My condolences to his family and especially his son. 

As someone who just turned 50 in January I can definitely agree that 51 is way too young.

Sadly this is becoming a grim reality for us as we keep aging.

Oh, this is sad news indeed. I met him, talked to him, bought from him.

My condolences to his family.

I remember him when I was new on here. Seemed a nice guy, like a lot of you.

My condolences.
