[ih] Dave Mills has passed away

[Ole Jacobsen]

Sorry to hear that. Our community has indeed lost a very special person.

My memories of Dave go back to my days when I was working at the Norwegian Telecommunications Administration Research Establishment (NTARE) with Paal Spilling. Dave had a Fuzzball router
at NTARE and would occasionally send us instructions and pointers to patches he had made while
were all asleep. His use of language always amused me: "I left on your Fuzzball a flock of files..."

He will be missed!
