Most recently, he was a Senior Editor at Tor Books, and the original announcement was made by Patrick Nielsen Hayden, Tor's Manager of SF and close editorial associate.

If there is a pantheon of late giants in the SF genre publishing field, it includes Ian Ballantine, John W. Campbell, Terry Carr, Fred Pohl, Donald A. Wollheim, and now, damn it, Dave.

A light has gone out in my personal sky.
