    That is sad to hear. Cptdis was a truly knowledgeable resource and willing to help. His passing is a great loss to the Forum and to all who knew him. RIP Dave.

    Dave was a very good friend of mine. I will miss him dearly. He was taken way too early (age 61) by an insidious disease, a rare iteration of Alzheimer’s.
