Just post comments here on Paddlewise anyone else who wants to, as Dan at
Westcoastpaddler can read your comments and will pass them on. I'm really
choked up and don't know what to say in a personal vain. I knew this day was
coming and keep hoping for some miracle cure. Dave's only done as well as he
has due to his situational calmness and his cool, abiding intellect that's
resounds with a big-heartedness (without the seasoned prejudice that sees
some older paddlers unwilling to share from their wealth of experience to
anyone needing help). Rare is a sadness like this so universal and
widespread. Peace and fair winds to you Dave.

Oh, such sad news indeed.  My heart aches for Dave and Becky.  I've 
"known" Dave Kruger for many years through the kayaking lists.  He is an 
inspiration and wonderfully funny as well as generous in providing 
valuable advice from his endless treasure trove of knowledge gained 
through experience.  Always positive and a great teacher.  Dave's 
absence here on Paddlewise has not gone unnoticed.

We love you Dave.  xx
