I've spoken to many people today about the news, and read each post several times. In doing so, my feelings have moved from grief and sorrow to happiness and inspiration.

I believe that admiration is the seed of grief. Identify this admiration and introspect. Find the pieces of his life that you admire and want, and incorporate them into your own. It is the duty of those left behind to look to the departed's life as a means to reflect on their own: The clarity of death which allows us to focus on what is truly important is their final gift.

In this vein, Dave leaves us with a lot to think about. He was an inspiring individual that gives each of us a bit of direction, and I am happy to see all of the lives he has given to.

Thank You Dave.
