He was such an inspiration and always made me happy even in the worst times. When I was recovering from chemotherapy and stem cell transplant treatment, Dave came to visit me in the hospital. Which was quite a surprise. I had always hoped that I could return the favor some day. Also, remember when Toke and I visited him at the Lodge and we both brought laptops (and not towels). He also inspired me to keep going with the Bufferbloat water demonstrations.
