Pretty sad news, seeing it in the 30th anniversary videos he seemed happy and well.
I'm happy he was able to attend the show.

Some less known infos about Dave below. It'll be great if Amiwest organizers do something "special" about Dave for the next Amiwest. RJ speaking about their work and about the man?
