I hadn’t signed on AIM for close to 2 weeks so Dave would text me to check if everything was okay if I didn’t sign on for a couple days. Normally we’d talk everyday and work on things together. I considered him one of my best friends online. So I never got that text from him those 2 weeks, didn’t think much of it until I signed on and the messages poured in to me telling me Dave had passed. I didn’t believe it, people makeup bullshit online all the time so I texted him telling him about this rumor he had passed and needed to sign on and clear this BS up. I got a reply…but it wasn’t Dave replying to me on his number, it was his girlfriend who confirmed my worst thoughts. I talked to her extensively on the phone finding out what really happened.
She was at Dave’s house when we were talking & asked me if I wanted to speak to his mother, what was I going to say? Regardless I said yes and talked to his mother for at least an hour. Extremely nice woman who missed her son dearly. She asked what part of NY I was in but of course I don’t live in NY and my southern Virginian accent gave that away. That didn’t matter to her though and we had a very deep conversation. I have/had a brother that passed the same way Dave did and to see how my mother dealt with losing a child gave me insight into how Dave’s mother felt and was going through. They say it gets easier with time but trust me, it doesn’t. I learned a lot about my friend that he kept private from the scene and I understand why. I tried to keep in touch with his GF but soon she faded away and contact ended. I have not spoken to her nor his mother in years now. Reading his obituary was one of the hardest things I’ve done. Did it bring closure? No, I still miss my friend and the great conversations we had and programs we worked on, exploits etc… Dave truly was a ‘ComputerWhiz’ as one of his last screen names stated. They don’t make em like Dave anymore. He will not be forgotten because people like you dedicate a page to him and he lives on in the memories of all of us that were privileged to know him.

In Dedication To My Friend Dave AKA NH2
