Nevertheless, his passing saddens me. So many of us cut our teeth on his work and continue to enjoy all that he helped to create. Beyond this, on a very personal level, Arneson's death hits close to home. My dear wife was recently diagnosed with cancer (We just had our 6th chemo treatment today--I wish I could say we were near the end of that treatment but we are just starting a long road). As a result, the family time we spend together with our children around the gaming table is even more precious now. I don't know, but I'm sure my story is not unique. I only hope Dave had some idea of the joy he provided and the lives he indirectly touched through his work before he passed. Wolfgang,
