RIP David Castle

[alkeys]

I didn't know David being new and all. But he obviously touched many, just the same I would like to send my condolences to his family. I have a family member who does have cancer and it is a stark reminder of the inevitable.

RIP
David

I knew David well we spent much time talking over the net we made TIP together and shared many great moments. he always spoke fondly of the Warrior forum people and encouraged me to join up. I remember his excitement as some of his friends from warrior forum joined TIP. I will miss him and his witty humor, all our discussion and endeavors. i felt the need to join so i could share with yous how much he enjoyed the time he spent on this forum and the people on it.
Hi guys,

i met David on web pro world back in 2004 and we just clicked we had long conversations and shared the same humor harboring many inside jokes.

I made davidcastle.org with David dubbed TIP The In Place which is a UK based SEO/Online Marketing forum in mar of 2005. David was frustrated with other forms he was using so i said to him i have a surver and can make the site so go register a domain and well do our own site. I knew with Davids great personalty and friendly face backed with my programing that we had a wining combo. we shared many tips and tequneeks for seo over the years and heavly posted in the brake sections for enjoying banter.

after a cupple years i got too bogged down and ash steped in to take over my spot. a while after that David told me he was going to be concatrating on his writing he was very happy when he got picked up for a book deal the realestate maret was not treating him well and he loved to write. Knowing he would not have much time for TIP he worked to rebrand it for ash so the fourm could carry on.

i'm still beside myself with greif i will miss him dearly.

Hi Eugene - Welcome to the Warriors - at last. Isn't it funny how the people we care about can tell us something over and over again, yet the only time we hear is when the only sharing left..on this side of the divide... is the word "goodbye"?

David was an OTer in royal form........that is, he was one of the "basement dwellers" in the Off the Topic forum. You might have met me at TIPS in the chat room - here, I am an OTer, too. What David was excited about around the time which I joined - along with many OTers is that we were joining in general protest here - and he had led that protest. If nothing else, it let him realize that he had real friends - and it made him feel great to give us a solution even though things were cleared up here. We still always knew that we still had a place to go to convein if we decided this wasn't the right place any more. With David there, it was still home.

You can read the OT version of this thread in the basement with us. You see....David and I chatted via pm's fairly regularly. I was waiting for a belated answer to the last PM to him. Just figured he was busy. After I stopped reeling from the shock of this news, I was able to think clearly about his last message to me. I won't rehash that here because I'm sure now that you will go to the Off the Topic forum and find that thread. Let's just suffice it to say, he dropped me a word that I didn't hear all that clearly until I wrote that last post of mine in there. I hear it now...and that project is under way, just as you are here. But - I think he knew that we'd "get it" eventually, eh?

I sure hope you will come back and join us now and again...if not in the line of work, at least to stop in at the OT to bounce off the walls with us a bit just as you and your pal were used to doing in TIPS. You are always welcome here and it won't take you long to find out why we all, including David could never stay away for too long.
