So sorry to hear about David.........I remember him as a baby when his parents, Roger and Thelma came to visit us in England.........later on we met at a campground in Michigan..........My husband Charlie Reed died April 16th , 20 10 of prostate cancer..........Please send me a note - so we can stay in touch...Sally Reed, 1 Smith Street, Apt. B215, Chelmsford MA, 01824

I want to express my sympathy to the family and to all our friends at Decorah Chat. Yes, David, you will be missed.

Dave, AKA TX Ninja. You were everyone's favorite MOD for Decorah Eagles chat. The way you swung down all the times from the rafters to answer questions or just joke around, making all feel welcome. It's hard to believe, I just found out, we lived a few blocks away from each other. Thanks for all you have done for our country and sharing your knowledge of eagles, especially our Decorah Eagles. Prayers of comfort for your family.

Ninja Dave was much loved by everyone in the Decorah Eagles chat room. He freely shared his extensive knowledge and dry wit, to everyone's delight. Condolences to "Teach" and all of his family. May the Force be with him!

So many wonderful memories of TX. My deepest condolences to his wife, Angie ("Teach" as he always referred to her to our moderators). It was such a pleasure to serve with him. He would go out of his way to help others and maintained such a calm demeanor. Fly high TX - to the rafters way up high.
