I only knew Dave from the various knife forums. It was always a pleasure to talk to him there.
I wish I had gotten to meet him in person.
The knife community is saddened at his passing.

Linda and family, it was my honor and priveledge to be friends with you and Dave. The friendship and generosity and the sharing of his wealth of knowledge will never be forgotten by me. Dave was what I call a giver, whereas most of the world are takers.
Rest in peace my friend,

Dave, I regret that I didn't meet you earlier. But just in the short time we knew each other I learned much from you and had a chance to wonder at your considerable skill with steel and leather. You are a true craftsman and artist. Our community is diminished with your departure. Rest well, my friend.

Dave you will never how much you have touched my life. I always looked forward to our talks and time together. You have always been an encouragement and a great wealth of information and always had advice for me. Our many laughs and so many more memories. I remember seeing you and Linda as a child and am so glad we were able to become close these last several years. May you continue your great skill of knife making up in heaven. We love you and will always cherish the memories together. One of many of your Darlins
