Original D&D Discussion - Confirmed: Dave Arneson has passed

I heard rumors he was hospitalized yesterday (or late the day before) and further rumors of his passing. I just got a confirmation from an industry veteran:

"It is now confirmed. Dave's daughter Malia called me a few minutes ago to tell me that Dave passed away last night in the company of his family.

There will be a memorial at the funeral home April 20th, and a service at the church April 21st. Anyone who feels inspired to come is welcome. Flowers can be sent to the funeral home:
Bradshaw, 678 Snelling Ave South, St Paul, MN 55116

Details on which charity you could donate to in his name, will be forthcoming from the relatives shortly."

Another sad day.

So many of my fondest memories stem from role playing sessions.

We will certainly have a moment of silence at our game this Saturday.

Thank you Dave,

Tom

Dave, it was a pleasure gaming with you that one time at GenCon. I still remember that die you had that was so worn out that you couldn't tell even what type of die it was. Many good times in that die. Many good times have come from the works you leave behind. The world will miss you. I will miss you. My prayers are with your family and loved ones.
