[Henry]

Rest in peace, Dave. I'll have my friend Torm dedicate his next raid on the 'Hells to you.

I know he was battling a long illness -- I hope the family can find some peace.

 

[Joshua Randall]

Perhaps we should start a Dave Sutherland Memorial fund drive, and donate to his favorite charity?

 

[Odhanan]

I love your comment, Klaus.

Condoleances to the family. And to the gaming community.

 

[Ghost2020]

I mean no disrespect, but I'm curious as to what illness snatched away this fine man and artist?
Maybe we can encourage others to donate to the cause for research.

Sad day indeed.

 

[Monte At Home]

Dave was a talented and interesting guy. I liked him, and wish I'd known him better.

I'm very sorry to hear this.

 

[KaosDevice]

Another ol' schooler gone.

Rest in peace, David.

He was a brilliant artist. I loved his "A Paladin in Hell" in the 1st ed. PHB. I am sorry that he is gone.
