excerpt from dedication in forthcoming Damag Control - LeoVampire Edition
Update – 08 Jan, 2008
* Special note: Dave is gone now, having finally lost the battle with the many ailments that plagued him. Let it be known that, even as his body was failing him, he never once complained, nor did he ever feel sorry for himself. Instead, he plunged ahead with his project, “Reflections on the Water,” with reckless abandon, as if he knew his time on Earth could be cut short at a moment’s notice. His efforts transformed his beloved game, “Silent Hunter 4,” into something majestic and breathtaking, and in doing so, touched the lives of so many around him in such a positive manner. His quiet strength of character and positive outlook was an inspiration to us all. Whether or not he realized this does not matter, for true heroes never envision themselves as such.
Dave was a true hero.
And he never gave up.
