So sad. I'll miss your contributions David.
I guess many of us are of an age where we have many more days behind us as in front of us. If you don't hear from me for a while, I'll have joined the tube guild in the afterspace. My wife has little idea of the forums I hang in, and she won't be making notifications of my dirt nap. When it happens though, I will have enjoyed your collective wisdom and humor, and been richer for it. So in advance, thanx for your indulgence.

This is extremely sad news. I never met him, but sent him NOS parts several times. He always would tease me that I must own several parts stores. He was such a genuinely nice guy and a great builder.

I was wondering several weeks ago that Root had not posted in awhile. He will truly be missed.

Wow, very sad to hear this. David and I pmd frequently when he was recovering from the first bout. I"ve lost track with a lot of people lately and am very sad to hear this. David was truly a great guy. My deepest condolences.

Very sad to hear. David and I exchanged some PMs and he offered some excellent advice on tubes etc.
There are some terrific people in this little community, generous and helpful and he was one of those.
RIP
