A tremendous loss. My thoughts are with his family and friends. I am grateful for all he's done for the community over the years.

David will be sorely missed. He was great a resource and contributor. He was very level headed and even handed. I've bumped heads with him a couple of times, and he never seemed to hold grudge.

R.I.P. and condolences to his family and friends.

I am shocked to hear of this. I have only ever interacted with David electronically over many years, but I will miss him. He has contributed greatly to calibre, maintaining the Kobo drivers and many plugins as well helping numerous people in these forums. Whenever I interacted with him, I found him to be knowledgeable and helpful and patient, an example to us all.

Rest In Peace, you made the world a better place.

How very sad! Such a generous contributor of skills, knowledge and help here, and of course his excellent Calibre plugins. The hole his passing leaves here makes me think of the much greater void in the lives of his loved ones. I hope they can find some comfort in reflecting on how much his life helped others.

Extremely sad. I always paid particular attention to any post bearing his name. I found him to be the most knowledgeable and the most helpful of all contributors - though many others are helpful too. Mobileread won't be the same without him.

My condolences to his family. We interacted a bit and he was always very helpful with the weird questions I asked about my Kobo!

I don't recall ever having interacted with the man mersonally, but his passing puts me in mind of the quote by John Donne
Quote:
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

John Donne
Every person is of value simply because they are a person. May God give his family peace at this time of sorrow in their lives.

I'm so sorry to hear this. He was such a wonderful resource to us all on this forum, always willing to help anyone who needed assistance and pointing in the right direction. He will be missed tremendously.

Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

RIP, David.
