Dave was one of the first people I met back in 99 when I got into 914's. Since I live locally to him, I got to know him pretty well, and was fortunate enough to call him a friend. He will be very much missed.

He did pass and this is very sad. A good man and father was lost yesturday, not to mention a real Porsche guy. The known and unknown contributions he has made to the Porsche Community will surly be missed by all. You have all been touched by him, wether you are a CW or a poor 914 guy, a racer or a 911 luver, an outlaw or just a 997 guy, you just may not know it.
RIP Dave and GODSPEED My prayers to your family hwgunner |

I have also known Dave for many years, and thought he was a great guy. I will miss talking to him.

Dave was a good friend, and great business partner. He had stayed at my place in TN and me at his in CA. We helped each other in business and our personal lives. This is so sad. My thoughts are with his loved ones. He will be greatly missed.

I've never met Dave, but just from your warm responses I can tell I'm at a disadvantage for never having met him. My condolences to all who have lost a good friend.

Bummer.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I never met him but spent MANY MANY hours talking to him more about life than parts. We had lots of laughs and exchanged many e-mail jokes. Of course women was typically the topic. The last year you could tell something was wrong. I'm sorry it turned out he was so sick. Another reminder to take the time with your friends and family while they are here.....

I've known him for years and I'm really sad to loose my friend. I'm sorry if you never met him. I'll miss his wicked sense of humor forever.
