Dave aka Leovampire has passed
 

I just realized that the folks on this forum who don't regularly visit the SH4 Mod's forum, but still have benefited from the work of the great SH4 Mod'ers, may not yet have heard of Dave's passing. The most recent 4-5 pages at this link cover our SH4 community loss: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=122408

Here is a link to a small tribute: For Dave

I had no idea. I'm sure he was a great asset and inspiration and would be missed greatly. I hope his loved ones will be alright.

PS: I tried out some of his mods and all I have to say is- The man was a genius!

Rest in peace Dave :oops:

<o :salute:

You will be missed!

Terrible news...
 

My god, i'm really shocked to hear this!
It kinda knocks my off my feet, i had some contact with him (private messages via this forum) and i knew he had been in the hospital but did'nt know it was this bad...

Yes indeed, he gave us some ecellent mod's and we will surely miss him.

I was about half-way through downloading and installing his wonderful ROW mod before realizing this had happened. Thanks for posting this thread. My condolences to his family and friends. It is very sad, indeed...:cry:

I exceeded my bandwidth for the tribute to Dave.

You can find it here now...the downloaded version is better than the streaming version.

That was an awesome tribute. Thank you!

We lost a great friend to this community. My thought and prayers go out to Daves family an all those lucky enough to have known him.
Calm seas ahead Dave.

The words of one of our members sum it up:

"He Gave So Much To So Many
Now He Has Gone
Grieve Not, Fellow Captains
His Reflection Will Live On"
