Thank you for sharing Rich, This saddens me greatly. Dave and I first met up sharing the trip to Red Oak in 2003. We saw each other many times over the past 20 years now. His photography is and was always fabulous. There is a photo he took of 357cj diving away from him at Mount Vernon which he composited into a sunset shot he took while I was standing by him in the restaurant. I have seen that picture hanging on the wall of 3 different airports that I happened into over the years and really brought a smile to me. He had given me several shots of leaving Nashau airport when I was up there one weekend that I kept on my screen saver for years. We last spoke probably 2 years ago now when i was really getting on him about getting back at the plane. I am pretty sure he trailered his plane at least once and maybe twice to gatherings which is no small undertaking. I will miss him. If and when there are services planned please let us know, if in Connecticut or Tennessee It is not to far for me to see him off. Joe Horton N657CJ ... very soon to be inspected

Those that attended gatherings of past may remember Dave as a large man with big dreams of finishing his KR2 XL. Unfortunately, his big heart gave out today. A talented and self taught engineer with many skills and a willingness to help anyone. He was employed by another good friend of mine at Pneucleus.com and was responsible for cad design, electronic layout, fixture design, manufacturing, dog petting, and anywhere else he could lend a helping hand. Just a few days ago he responded to Gary Sack's e-mail regarding viewing the eclipse in northern New Hampshire. https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/msg68839.html Dave was also an avid and talented, professionally trained photographer and was responsible for photo's at many gatherings from the late 1990's and beyond such as http://www.krnet.org/kronline/jan2003/ Dave was also a Corvair aircraft engine enthusiast and I have a few parts he designed and had fabricated on my (not yet flying) KR2S. Daves website and builders log is still up and running. New guys may want to capture as much information as you can in case it goes down. http://n323xl.iwarp.com/blspars1.htm It early but we are hoping that their may be a service in his original home state of Tennessee in the months to come Rich Parker Greenfield, NH richontheroad (at) hotmail.com
