With a heavy heart I read this. Although, deep inside, I knew this was coming. Over the last two+ years Dave has had multiple serious problems and has been hospitalized several times. With the hospitals and personnel the way they are -- he was so fortunate to make it through all that he did go through in them.
Dave was the most positive and upbeat member of both this list and SCIC list and he is going to be terribly, terribly missed. He was a wonderful kind, generous person, online friend and family member. May his family have the strength to get through the initial trauma especially if it was unexpected. Like Dave O'Connell many of us quads would like to know the reasoning behind is passing. If anyone can shed some light on this perhaps it can be helpful. Thank you for letting us know!
