So sad to hear that Dave passed away. I worked with him briefly when he was consulting with us, and he was a tremendous help when I was setting up the IAB workshop on network quality. Dave managed to be kind and stubborn at the same time. Like many people, I learned a lot, and yet not enough from him. Omer. P.S. I still hope to wake up tomorrow and to learn that this was an April Fools joke.
