All : : I heard was that there was a death and no further information. I almost : : choked when I got back and found out that Dave had died. I knew him : : moderately well. I agree with the sentiment that while I chose not to dive : : with him on philosophical reasons, out of the water he had a heart of gold : : and was a well respected family man. My condolences to his wife and child. : : Dan : : ----- Original Message ----- : : From: "Phil Jensen" <pjensen@jssinc.on.ca> : : To: "'Technical Diver Discussion Group'" <doppler@listbot.com> : : Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2000 9:54 AM : : Subject: RE: Scuba-related deaths this weekend : : : : > Technical Diver Discussion Group - : : http://www.techdiver.to/diver.nsf/66a3a61e7f69a24f852568bc004f219c/88aa0ec5e : : 38a26bb8525689d0050c5bb?OpenDocument : : > : : > I only met Dave once, seemed like a nice guy.
