To be fair, I heard of Dave, in the last 4-6 years or so...
Finding out later, that Blackmoor, the ground Zero primer that lead to Greyhawk.
Made me appreciate more...of the creative minds that brought fun into our lives, for all.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Arneson at GenCon when he bought a dice bag from us for a family member. He was very nice and took the time to speak with Paladinwife & I for quite some time.
Thank you, sir, for all of your contributions to D&D and RPGs.
Your name will not be forgotten as long as there are Players out there ... and since humankind has played since the beginning of time, you will be remembered forever!
I have no idea what (if anything), waits for all of us after this life. But, if there is something more for us, I hope you'll get as much joy from it as you've given all of us over the years.
Rest peacefully, sir, in the knowledge that your contribution to the lives of everyone on this board, and gamers all over the world, can never be overstated.
