Remembering David Alway......

I just read the news and many posts that
tnatj, also known in real life as David Alway, passed away this morning.
I'm sad.
This was totally unexpected.
Dave was a perennial attendee at the filk cons I went to, but I didn't get to actually meet him and chat with him until GaFilk two years ago. He was making his #fikhaven buttons by the registration table, and talking with me on various topics. As others have already mentioned, he was a "gentle giant" in the filk and fandom communities. He was truly a joy to talk with.
I'm angry with myself for not spending more time with him when I had the chances to do so. But none of us know when it's time to join the great big filk circle in the sky.
He will be missed.
