    MSWorld Volunteer Dave Has Passed

    It's with a heavy heart to announce that a former MSWorld volunteer has passed away.

    Dave was in charge of the Message Boards and also was a chat room moderator.

    I really don't have any additional details, but wanted to pass along the news to those of you that knew him.

    With or without MS, life had it's challenges. Dave had his share and then some, but he was a warrior. I hope you all will take this post as a good reason to let those dear to you that you love them. Be grateful for what you have and take time to count your blessings.

    I know my life was blessed to have gotten to know Dave.I am grateful for MSWorld and for all of our community.

    I wish you well...

              It is sad news. When I first joined here I didn’t know if it was the place for me , and I read hunterds stuff and thought if it was ok for a guy like that then it should be ok for me too. Rest In Peace hunterd and thank you for being here and helping. Amen. !

                Such sad news.
                He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

                    Thank you Marco. Bittersweet to put a face to the screen name via obituary. If anyone is interested it is easy to donate to the requested chapter online as opposed to snail mail listed in obit.

                        My thoughts to his family and friends. It is always sad to hear of someone's early passing. While I did not know Dave I am grateful for his work with this forum and allowing us all to have a safe place to share information and assurances.

                          I'm so sorry to hear this. Dave trained me to be a moderator, many years ago. I've sometimes wondered about him.

                              My heart breaks. He was a great guy and persistent. I don’t really know what to say but I will miss him as all of you do. I could always count on him for some advice or opinion.
                              Life passes quickly and every day matters. I hope we all can make the best of each and every day no matter what.

                              love, love & more ❤️❤️❤️
