Dave visited our Nostalgic Computers exhibit at the San Mateo Maker Faire 2015 last May.  He introduced himself and appreciated the Amiga 3000 we had on display.  Then he asked me if I was going to the Amiga 30th in Amsterdam.  I replied that the event had sold out.  He said that he would look into the problem, and his daughter who was accompanying him also reassured me that they would work something out.  A few weeks later, a new round of tickets was released, and I was able to get to the event.

I saw Dave again at the Amiga 30th in Mountain View, California.  It was fun to videotape Dave for posterity.  Dave was having a great time.  He was in his element... he was with Amigas and Amigans.

Rest in peace, Dave,
