Quite true Robert. I had actually sent him an article last week, for his magazine and had a cheery email response on Friday, sadly this must have been shortly before he had his heart attack.

Richard,

Very sad to hear about David passing away.

He was one of our prominent Resident Historians and he will be sorely missed!

Hanno

Default RIP David

I was fortunate to briefly meet David back in 2003 when I visited England. His enthusiasm and knowledge will be greatly missed.

Unhappy loss

David's passing is a true loss in every sense of the word. We have lost a family member, an amazingly knowledgeable man and a an inspiration to many. The MLU community just became a little poorer. RIP David.
