I was afraid that a post like Mark's would pop up about Dave sooner or later. Dave called me last year "just to say 'Hi'" and let me know he was letting a few of us know that he was facing an uphill battle against that cursed "C" word, but I had a feeling it was much more dire than he was letting on.
What a privilege we forum members have had to converse with a truly loving, remarkable person in Dave. It was always humbling to hear him comment how awed he was at how we could create something as wonderful as architecture with the coding he just typed - never realizing (or acknowledging) that without the magic of his coding we would be left with just gibberish and monotone lines. For those of us who had the added privilege of actually speaking with him (and those of you on the East coast who got to actually meet him) we were enriched with his gravely voice and laugh. For me, I can truly say my life would be a much duller shade without having counted Dave as one of my friends.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Giessleman family, and especially to my friend Dave.
May God reveal his rich love and mercy as you pass between this world and the glory of Heaven, my friend. And may God lay His loving hand on your wife and boys as they share their love with you, and then lovingly give you into God's care and eternal life.
Onward and upward, my friend!
