He was a great character and we definitely miss him.

I remember Dave.  I even have some of his stories saved on my
computer.  He had a real gift with words and a great sense of humor. I
have no doubt that he is remembered by far more people than he ever
imagined.

Google probably has all of the stories in their archive.

How could I forget him?  He wrote such funny stuff.

I was one of the privileged few to meet him in person.  He was such a lovely
man, and Patty is a sweetheart.  Of course she'd have to be, if he played
even half the tricks on her that he told us about.  ;-)

Dave's sadly missed by many of us. I often think of his phrase, hairy varmit
critters.

I miss him.  He was a very funny man with an ability to listen to
stories as well as tell them.  Which is a rare commody in this world.
Every month or so I look up his stories on either Dave Stevenson's cat
pages or Flippy's cat pages.  They are guarenteed to make me feel
better when it seems like life is kicking me in the face.

I thought I posted this one already, but it doesn\'t appear to be showing
up on talkaboutpets.com or google groups\' rendering of RPCA. So forgive me
if there ends up being a duplicate post, of sorts, but I\'m going to share
it again. (But this time I\'ve even got the link to the thread in question,
so this post will go one better than the missing one. ;o) )

Something must be in the air, because I thought of Dave Y a day or two
ago. Specifically, I thought of the thread where he described drawing
Groucho Marx on himself in magic marker, cigar included (so to speak, LOL)
then scaring Patty and (unexpectedly) his brother-in-law to death when he
put said, er, artwork on display.

Then, as he\'d recently been released from the hospital, he decided he\'d
rather wash said drawings off than risk a possible trip to the ER with
Groucho Marx still drawn on him... only to find out, the hard way, that the
ink was far from easy to remove.

I remember reading that story at the time and laughing so hard, I nearly
hurt myself. So much so that just REMEMBERING the story was enough to make
me start laughing again.

So I looked through google groups and found the thread. Here it is, still
as hilarious as ever:

Enjoy!

Dave is sorely missed.

A very late response here, but oh, yes.  He wrote the funniest stories
that would have me laughing so hard it would hurt!

I was lucky enough to meet he and Patty when they stopped off in Ohio a
few years ago.  Both he and Patty were absolutely delightful.  I have a
brief clip of them on video somewhere, and I will try to post it
somewhere -- if I can figure out how.

Anyone know how Patty is doing?

Sslut, David.  You are missed.
