Very Sad News; the death of davidfor - Page 4

jackie_w · 09-05-2022, 09:26 AM

This is such a terrible shock. My heartfelt sympathy to his family.

I hope he knew how much we in the Kobo community valued his huge contribution to making our reading lives better.

Although we never met we shared several PM exchanges over the years - often with him kindly and patiently trying to explain something I was failing to grasp. I'll miss him a lot.

Goddamn. RIP, David. He's been a fixture in the Kobo forums for years, and always has insights into whatever the latest firmware was doing or not doing, and recovered so many devices with Caliber.

My condolences to his family.

I am not a high frequency poster, but I actually went to the Kobo forum hoping it wasn't the poster I thought it was.

David was one of the most insightful posters on the forum. He will be missed greatly. My condolences to his friends and family.
