Dave fought the good fight, always kept his good humor and lived life on all of the terms he was able.  RIP.  Gonna miss Dave for sure.

I didn't know Scout26, but from all that is being said of him, I wish I did get to know him. Rest in peace, good man.

Dammit. Dave - travel well, brother.

Dave was an inspiration to me. All the years with the cancer and dealing with dialysis, and he still lived his life like someone without those problems. I knew he had to travel with dialysis stuff, or have it shipped, etc. but it never really hit me on how complicated that was until I walked into his and Charby's hotel room when we met to scatter Monkeyleg's ashes.

That room was piled full of medical stuff Dave needed to survive, yet he still made that trip and many others. I was thinking to myself that I would have just wussed out and become a homebody if I had to deal with all that, but Dave didn't let any of that stop him - he still lived his life like he was perfectly healthy and did all the things someone with no medical problems would do.

I know it tired him out though, and though I will miss him, I understand his choice of eternal rest rather than being poked and prodded and suffering, stuck in a hospital bed.

RIP Dave.

We were simply friends from here at APS. We lived pretty close to each other but only saw each other or met up on a few occasions.

Some years ago we had some communication where he said some timely things that really strengthened me in spirit.

From that point forward I've always been thankful to God for bringing him into my life, even as just a casual friend who occasionally communicated outside of APS.

His presence will be missed

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

We are diminished.

Missed him at Indy,  didn't think that would be the only chance.

RIP.

I never met him in person, but we spoke on the phone a few times over the years.  Roughly 9 years ago, I was in a really dark place after coming home from the gym to find my girlfriend at the time dead in my bathroom.  David talked to me for about 2 hours and talked me out of doing something really stupid and permanent.  I'll never forget him doing that for me.

I enjoyed the limited time I spent with you, Dave.  Glad that you're no longer suffering, but still saddened by your departure.   =(

His presence here will be missed.  Glad I got a chance to meet him at the NRA Show even if it was just a few minutes.

His presence here and in person was always a comforting one. I will miss him. His dedication to his son was always something I particularly admired about him.

Robert, I wish you well and hope you have the life your father dreamed for you. I know he's with you in spirit.
