I am posting this for anyone that knew Dave Disesa (ESPERANZA). Word from Madiera Beach that he passed yeserday or this morning. Internet is whacked here, so news is spotty. One of my original mentors here. Dave you will be missed in Blue Water Heaven. Bill & Pat Stephan

Re: With great regret...
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.
