I don't want this to be true. A HUGE man of our world has left us. Its not right.
So keep your nose clean keep it on a shoe string
With no opposing no undue disclosing
Nothing stale nothing old or decomposing
Nothing empty nothing bold or over knowing
Nothing more than tasteful reconstruction
Of the plot that edifies all our instructions
It's on the goodness of our dime that you can function
This doesn't seem possible. I think David was in his forties. He had a great passion for the game and was always looking for ways to make it better. A tremendous loss.
Shocking, terrible news. Thanks for letting us know.
He was a good friend.
For a couple of years, we spoke by phone almost daily, sometimes multiple times.
A golden heart, always wanting to preserve billiard history in all forms.
He worked hard to keep ABR going, he loved it and was great doing it. Gifted...
I just called a very close friend of David's in Tulsa with the news, who is also heartbroken.
David, may you rest in Paradise.
Wow. I met him at the Chicago AZB Meetup a few years ago. Great person. I've always enjoyed his posts on here and was impressed by how much he did for our sport and preserving the history of it.
RIP buddy.
Splitting time between Chicago and San Francisco.

Does anyone have a photo of Dave?
I've only ever had contact with him through here and never met him in person.
I always thought there was time to meet him at an expo or tournament in the future.
Our digital community here is so vast, yet so limited. I appreciate being able to cross paths and experience folks like Dave and yourselves, and it's something that's so easy to be taken for granted.
We were so very fortunate to experience Dave's contributions to the billiards world here.
I got this picture from his Facebook page, I hope it's OK to post it. I didn't know him, but I felt like I did from reading his posts and listening to his show. He was one of the good ones, and contributed so much.
