Everyone who knew Dave personally knew how great a person he was. He was a big kid (perhaps like us all), and would say, "Oh Boy! Toys!" for as long as I can recall. Wry and fast sense of humor, a love for those lead miniatures, the poem from Robert Louis Stevenson (himself in his day a "wargamer" as well a a writer of fantastic tales) seemed fitting.
