His handle here at Subsim was Florida Sailor, aka Dave Grayson. He was a good husband and he was a great man, I'm also happy to say that he was my friend.

RIP, Dave. You shall be sorely missed.

this is very sad news

I'm sorry to say I missed this item about the passing of an old friend. I'll never forget Dave Grayson for the help he gave me two years ago when I foolishly took up the task of making Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate Edition. And before that he freely gave me permission to host TMO with Training Wheels on Subsim, as before it was only available at the Ubi SH4 forum, which is sometimes hanging on by a thread.

Dave's concept of making a supermod accessible to beginners is a major inspiration to the mod that torments me: FOTRSU, and today, following Dave Grayson's guiding principle, we have decided to use the stock NavMap as default and let the more experienced players install a plugin mod to use the TMO black dots and no ship information scheme in FOTRSU.

So Dave continues to inspire us. I extend heartfelt condolences to his family and sincere apologies for missing this announcement of Dave's passing.
