Oh this is so, so sad. Dave helped me immensely in my 50th anniversary RFC
blogging project. He was generous in providing critical context I needed,
and a truly personable and funny correspondent.

His website is a treasure trove and a document of his many passions:
https://www.walden-family.com/dave/

In particular he co-edited this massive (and massively interesting!) tome
on the history of BBN from its earliest days: https://walden-family.com/bbn/

I hardly knew him but he left a great impression on me. My condolences to
all his loved ones.
