David Hamilton AKA "Frodeaux"

[Mutualcode at aol.com]

This is indeed sad news. Words fail in the scope of this
tragedy. I never met David, although, I mailed him an article
I came across several years back. His presence here will
be sorely missed, but our loss is as nothing compared with
that of his family and close friends, who must be devastated. 
May they find some consolation in the mutual recognition of
their love for him. 

Thank you David Morris for sharing this sad news.

hunting.  He drowned after his all-terrain vehicle overturned onto him.
