Wow.
David is dead. Massive heart attack at 48.
I'm reminded of Neil Gaiman's comment, so sad but so true, "You get what everyone gets. You get a lifetime."
Before he was a Rabbi, he was a Science Fiction writer. And musician. And lover of great scotch whisky. I remember being on a panel with, David, Alex, and Sue York at Albacon, right around his birthday ten years ago... the panel started at 11 pm, so I brought along a bottle of Laphroaig to toast the birthday boy, and it got sillier from there. Some were outraged (They were drunk! On a panel!), while many more told us it was the most fun they'd ever had at a con panel.
He was a mensch, and he will be missed.
