My first experience with David occurred at the CorelDRAW User conference in 1994.  I was the new kid at the CorelDRAW user conference and since David and I had chatted on the Corel CompuServe forums I wanted to meet him and put a face to the name.  Before I could introduce myself he took to the stage to teach a class on PHOTO-PAINT and in front of 200 people he started the session with...

"Ladies and gentlemen, you're going to think I'm crazy when I ask you this, but please bow your heads and pray with me...".

David was a deeply faithful man who enjoyed getting into long discussions regarding his passions. He was very direct and you never had to wonder how he felt about a topic, he simply told you. A trait I have always appreciated. He always showed an interest in helping others experience more out of life. He was always willing to share his gadgets and mastery.

He was a great person to work with and he will be sorely missed by Corel, and the people he helped.

Safe travels David,

T.
