Still cant believe it is true... Still at a loss for words....

 

very true and a very good way of looking at this devastating blow! he has had very bad knee problems for years, and was in constant agony! at least now he's at peace

 

i'm in shock... i never even got to meet Dave in person.

 

I only talked to him a couple times, but it's always sad when something like this happens.

RIP

 

RIP dave. My condolonces to his family/friends. He was an asset to the community.

 

Dave was a hard worker. We were helping him put a Cosmo engine into this RX8 . does anyone know who it belongs to? so i can contact him.

 

He was always contributing to the forum.. Shoking, will be remembered..

(dr. pepper was his cat)

RIP dave, we will miss you!

 

im sorry to hear this, this a major loss to the rx7 community.

 

my condolences go out to both parties involved in the accident. Sucks this kind of stuff has to happen. RIP Dave.

 

RIP Dave though I didn't know him I hate reading about things like this.

 

rest in peace, and best wishes for your family and friends.

 

we thought we should do something for a guy that was such a Major influance to the rotary community. (at least to us he was)
Vipers, my wife, and I are talking about doing a memorial drive in Daves honor. more details to follow, but check here if you are interested.

wow shocking indeed, rip dave. i talked to him on AIM quite a few times.

 

poor guy, never know when your going to go . . .

 

I knew Dave for a while, and he was all about giving back, he always had a project to do, and cars to tune. We all were touched in one way or another by him and his work/insight. The response to this thread is very heartwarming, and I know he would be smiling right now if he was reading it. For him to be able to finally see all the fellow club members who have a heart, would make him very happy.

I hope that anyone that owed Dave any money , or favors, would please show their respect by giving what they owed in the form of a donation to his family to help with burial expenses. Please contact FC_Fris about contributing to this fund. I can't tell you guys how much we are going to miss him, he was a valuable member of Lucky 7, and a seasoned veteran of RX-7 Club.

DAVE WE WILL MISS YOU!

 

My condolences to Dave and his family.
R.I.P. Dave.

 

While I am not around there...I would be willing to contribute to a flower fund etc anything started yet?

 

My condolences....

 

i cant believe this tragic news. deep down im hoping this is a cruel joke.

 

there are no details yet, the only detail we really have right this second is that Vipers and myself will do a memorial drive. weather or not anyone else wants to join will soon be discovered. also what is to be layed at the grave site is also to be determined. Thank you very much for your offer, I will post details in the memorial drive thread as to what we might come up with. I really didnt want to ask anyone for anything, but we will see how it goes. Dave never seemed like much of a flower guy to me...... although flowers sticking out of a rotor like Vipers said........ MAYBE

 

This totally sucks!

My prayers go out him and his family.
