I recieved this email from jim Dunn in my yahoo mail box:
Hi,
I got a call this evening from Bob Eaton and he informed me that Dave passed away this afternoon. Dave's daughter called Bob and said that he was napping on the couch and that was it, just didn't wake up. Dave was an inspiration to all of us and a more gentle person I have never known. I feel privileged to have known Dave and know that he will be missed by many. Just wanted to let you know. God speed Dave.
Jim
Dave was a pioneer and, as Jim says a gentle person.
God Speed Dave,
DW
