David, I think of you often and wish we could have had one more phone call or I'd make it back to the meetups. My thoughts are with your loved ones. For those of us on wiki, anyone feel like a mini drive for David? Brooklyn, library, academic. I think he'd appreciate any or all efforts. I'm still on and offline so wanted to kick this off early for any ideas.

:I missed the "one year" mark, being sick and in the hospital, and just wanted to add that I enjoyed the interactions I had with David. He was older than I by fourteen years. He was the same age as my sister who was, like David, an inspiration. He actually shaped, or I should state reshaped, some of my ideologies concerning Wikipedia. I would laugh, actually out loud, when I would see any of his typing errors. I could just imagine him saying "just fix it". DGG, I think I can safely state for many editors, you are missed. Our song choices may not match but this reminds me of a song [[George Jones]] sang: [[Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes]]. -- [[User:Otr500|Otr500]] ([[User talk:Otr500|talk]]) 08:36, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
== Gone but not forgotten ==
It is with a heavy heart that I write this message to remember and honor David Goodman. It is hard to believe a year has passed so quickly. DGG, as he was affectionately known, was an esteemed member of our community but also a dear friend who touched the lives of many with his kindness, wisdom, and unwavering dedication. As an administrator and former member of the Arbitration Committee on Wikipedia, DGG played a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and quality of our shared knowledge. His contributions were marked by fairness, diligence, and a deep commitment to the values of open access and collaboration. His work here has left an indelible mark, and his absence is profoundly felt. Rest in peace, my friend...your contributions and friendship will never be forgotten.
