Wow ... this is a gut punch .

Dave just came across as a genuinely good guy who enjoyed life ... he will be missed.

My condolences to you Jeff .... tough to lose a buddy like him.

RIP Dave...

Moral to the story.

You never know when your number is up.

Live each day to it's fullest and love & respect one another.

Sorry to hear this sad news.

God Speed to a super good guy - who will be missed........

Sorry to hear of his passing. He was an interesting contributor here.
I think that he had family in the Calgary area.

I really enjoyed the pictures from his trip to Belize. While reading about this was sad, hopefully his ending was quick and painless. Rest in peace Dave.

Damn, that really sucks. Off to drive Porsches and scuba dive in heaven for eternity. RIP and Godspeed.

Also very sorry for your loss Jeff, it’s obvious you guys were close. As they always say, death is harder on the living.

The Pelican community grieves with you, Jeff. I recall posting on his Dating thread after his divorce. I hope the divorce didn't spike his last year or so in terms of living life as he seemed to do. That he was an interesting man was obvious from his posts; you are lucky to have known him.
I was at wake for a 62 year old avid hiker from SoCal just yesterday, as fit as a fiddle but found on the trail in cardiac arrest. All you can do is live a good life and make the most of it... we don't know if we have 25 more years or 25 more days. Dave seemed to have enjoyed his time here. RIP

This news, on top of all the fire destruction here in SoCal the past few days, is really tough to take.

My condolences to you Jeff, and all the other Pelicans here that enjoyed Dave's posts.

I have a brother that lives alone now, out in the country who has battled a lot of medical stuff but still likes to do 'stuff'. I can't help but worry about him.

RIP, Rusty Heap.

Darn it. Another good pelican gone too soon.
It is a reminder to enjoy this community while we can.
The bird board is diminished with his loss.
