I have been away for a few weeks and have only just spotted this thread and was shocked.
It was time for him to start a new awfully big adventure. We shall not see his like again and will have to carry on without him. He will be greatly missed. |

Extremely sad news. I've been away from the forums for awhile, and just saw this.
I always read David's posts--as they were sure to be constructive and informative. My thoughts and prayers are with David's family and in-person friends. He is missed! |

Dear David,
I just heard news today of your passing. I'm a bit scatterbrained, and I've been dealing with illness a lot over the past two years. I don't camp out here as much as others do. Sometimes I've asked questions that tested your patience. I considered you one of the old guard curmudgeons that hung out on this forum. However, you were always so impressively informed. I knew that I could always count on you to give me the most helpful answers about the various issues that I ran into with my Kobo eReaders. You really knew your stuff. There were many times that after a late night post, I would wait for Australia to wake up so that I could read your replies. Even today I was using your plugin to make my Kobo eReader experience a stable one. I don't know if I ever thanked you enough for your selfless efforts to benefit all Kobo users. I hope that a family member reads this and knows that your reach spread across the world, your efforts uplifted many, and your insightful comments shaped online discussions in factual ways. I will miss interacting with you. Thank you for all that you did. With the greatest sincerity, Douglas Cootey |

My condolences to his family and friends.
Though my contacts with David were few and brief (here/github), it still comes as a shock. |

Wow. My thoughts go out to his family. I hope they saw this thread and saw how many lives he touched with his thoughtful work.
I use his plugin often, he helped me when I had some problems with it. I came back to the forum on an unrelated matter and saw that he had passed. It’s a testament to his work that it took me so long to find out of his passing. I had no reason to ask more questions. Great guy great work. |
