I've been pondering this for the last day, at a loss for what I could
say other than "I'm sad too".  I have many happy memories of discussions
with Dave, with beers shared in distant places, of his continual gentle
encouragement to support the people who are working to make things
better.

We have lost somebody special.

Looking through my email from him, one constant theme was not pointing
out his own work (though he was certainly pleased when it was adopted),
but the work of others.  He wanted all of the people doing good work to
be recognized, and had a big enough heart to support them all.

In a message sent just over a year ago, he left me with this thought:

	"if we do not celebrate ourselves, no-one will."

As I remember Dave, I shall try to follow his lead and celebrate those
who are continuing his work.
