I got the PM from Hawk stating what happened and I'm at a loss for words. Dave helped me out a couple times with ROW and he was a very pollite human being when helping solve certain problems I was experiencing.
When looking through his posts, I find it difficult not to cry for losing such a contributive member. Why does this place suddenly seem lonely? Probably because Dave was always here helping someone or contributing something nice for everyone to enjoy. It feels to me that if SubSim ever died, Dave's memory of what he did in regards to Silent Hunter would also vanish. Where's this fund so I can send some cash? Is SubSim for sale? Looking for a funding partner?
Very disheartening news indeed. I really don't know what to say? I remember losing a cat to sickness and several days after I started checking her bed with the hopes that she was in it. I guess that will be the same at the SS forums when people sometimes wait and hope that Dave will post something.
