January 25th:
I just received this heart breaking news and wanted to make sure his dear friends all knew.This came from his friend Billy via e-mail
Denise,
Dave passed away today at 2:15
I saw him this morning at 10 and he was doing ok.
I am sorry to be the one with bad news but I wanted you to know.
I just got the word from his sister. Can you let them know at Miranda, I am not on my computer.
Billy
All,
Below was an update from Dave's friend Billy... So sad, lets all give Dave our best.
Chad,
Dave is in really bad condition, he has not regained conscious since the surgery and the doctors do not offer much hope. I talked with his sister and told her about the get well card and printed it out for her. Everyone here appreciates te prayers and well wishes for Dave.
Very nice tribute! Dave, we are all thinking about you and wish you a speedy recovery.
This is more than a social network/wildlife photography site... it's a collective conscience!
Thanks Chad
Nice one, Pinky! Dave would approve.
