We lost a good man last Thursday. He and his wife were killed in an auto accident- What a sad thing.

What a shock! Dave was very active on this forum.
He and his wife were a major part of the school system in their small community.
Prayers for their daughter's recovery and well being. |

He was a really nice (and very talented) young man whose life revolved around is music and family. I hadn't talked with him in a couple of days, but he helped me with PSG questions on another site. He will be missed by many. What a devastating blow to his family, and to their community.

Dave was a good customer of mine, & although I don't believe I ever met him, I have only heard great things about him.
I know he will be missed at many levels.
Our thoughts & prayers go out to his family.

Incredibly terrible loss, I didn't know Dave personally but he was a tremendously talented multi-instrumentalist
A very sad loss to any who've known him or who've had the opportunity to hear him play.
What a shocker! |
