Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.
My condolences

My heart is broken. Dave was a man of integrity and for whom I have
great respect.
He has supported me in many ways. I've shared a beer and I've shared
some tears with him. He stands as an icon in the meteorite community
and a great family man.
Both Kat and I send our love and prayers to the Gheesling family,
especially Maddie and Kasia.
Dave was a truly genuine person and I am so grateful to have been his
friend and a part of his life. Rest in Peace my friend
John & Katina Cabassi

Folks,
It’s with a heavy heart that I write to the meteorite community this
evening.
Dave Gheesling passed away yesterday (11/11), and we’re all trying to
process the sudden loss. He was my best friend. I don’t have the words
to express how much he meant to me, how much he influenced my life, and
how blessed I was to have known the man.
Dave’s love of family & friends, his positivity, his generosity and his
enthusiasm for life are the example he has left for us all. Dave has been
an important part of our community, and his contributions will live on as
his legacy for many decades to come.
I apologize for the abruptness of an email communication, but we were only
able to contact a few people this evening, given the hour. Please, if you
need anything, contact me directly so that we can give Dave’s family the
time they need to prepare for the service. I will post more details as
they are available.
Yours,
Sean Murray

“Our respective fates here on planet Earth are all inevitable. Sooner or
later - and whether we like it or not - each of us will eventually assume
room temperature. Seemingly against all odds, we are born, we experience a
few decades on the big ball (if we're lucky), then we die. Our atoms are
once again stirred back into the terrestrial soup, and that's about all
she wrote.”
