Just poped in to check the site and saw this and was at total loss for words,but still will try anyway.

To all Dave's friends and family my thoughts go with you.May you find strengh in his kindness for in giving his time so freely means that those touched by it will never forget.

R.I.P Dave.
May you forevermore find calm seas and a clear horizon for your new heading.Second star to the right and stright on till morning.

I exceeded my bandwidth at my original hosting site for this, so I've now put my small tribute at filefront instead.
Please use this link: For Dave . . . . (A downloaded version from there will be better than filefront streaming version)

I hadn't checked in the forum for some time and now I saw this news. I'm really sorry. I feel like crying. :(

What a sad news for a new year. :cry:
But i'm sure that he is now better than us in some special place.
I yet don't played SH4 but will. And when this day comes Leo's mods will be in the first list. Rest in peace mate.

Rubini.

RIP Dave, i most likely dont know you, but your work and contributions for the people of subsim, the SH4 developers and the game will forever be remembered, now your in a better place, but it wont be the same here without you:cry: you contributed a excellent mod which will most likely be continued, RIP fellow captian. ill be drinking those extra bottles of beer for ya. :()1::()1:

Lost a good friend.
 

Woah, you'll have to forgive me I've been away from subsim for a few months and just heard the news. I almost cannot believe it, Dave was the closest person to me on Subsim.com. After he started the ROW mod we traded a ton of private messages with each other since he always liked having opinions from other people. I also helped him dig up pictures for his mod to make the ocean look more "blue" like it should be. Really feels like I lost something important to me, his mods were always of the highest quality IMO. Dave and all of his hard work will be remembered in my signature always while I remain here on subsim.com.

Wolfy

Not that i knew Dave that much "personnaly" so to speak, but we had worked together on mods, especially on ROW related things and thus exchanged many "modding" PMs.
Suffice to say, the guy was a marvel to know and was trully friendly and caring.
I will miss your pm very much Dave :cry:
I just don't know what to say, words just fails me...
I send you all my love, wherever you are.

Puisses-tu trouver la paix, mon ami, où que tu sois. Nous aurons toujours une pensée affectueuse en ta mémoire en travaillant sur SH4...

Exactly Savages. Dave answered everyones PM's all the time and always glad to do it.

Dave was a man who believed in what this community is - people with common interests and a love of subs (in whatever fashion we can get our hands on them). More importantly, its a community of friends. Maybe not always seeing eye to eye, but people who share a love for - lack of a better term - the sea.

Dave touched many here - whether by the ROW/LBO mod, his other works, or just his nature and willingness to help others. He will not be forgotten.

tribute to dave
 

I took some time to make a little reminder something for you all, captains :cry:
I thought, like me, you'd like some kind of "captain" portrait-like old photo of dave he would have think to be funny, so you can keep his memory alive... Not to mention, paste it into SH4/3 Textures to have him on board :arrgh!: Comes in two versions (one tribute to his beloved SS194 seadragon sargo class):

I know it's no big thing, but at least something i could do to honour him and his sense of humor.
We miss you Dave

Very cool of you KzS.

RIP

Thanks for everything. We'll miss you.

Very nice gesture KzS!!!

All I can say is - WICKED!!!

Nice job!

Bill

thanks ;)
Knowing the man, I'd like to think it would have made him laugh and thus, gives a tribute to his kindness and sense of humor cause that's how i'll remember him. :yep:
My last little trick to make him smile wherever he his.
