RIP.

Very true. I thought of him and everyone on this forum as a good friend and never met any in person. He will be missed.

My deepest condolences go out to the family of David "Hameister". I didn't know him personally, but he was a great contributor this forum and his love for Corvettes really showed. He will be missed. God speed!

He always put a smile on my face even though I never saw or met the man. Tonight's cigar is in his memory. .....

So sorry!

I am shocked and deeply saddened by this news. He stood out among the many great people I have I have associated with on this forum these past few years. He was articulate, knowledgeable, insightful and always willing to help a fellow enthusiast. He will be missed. My deepest condolences are extended to his wife and family. David .....don't forget the corvette wave in heaven.

He was a smart, loving, caring, generous, genuine, funny, and sarcastic man. He was a corvette enthusiast to the max. He will be missed. His memories will be with us forever.
