Nicest guy I ever chatted with on the board. He was such a mensch. Very sad news.

Sad to hear this. DocV was thoughtful and articulate, and made tremendous contributions to the diving community and SB in particular.

What a loss to the community and of course more so to his loved ones.

Doc, fair seas and thank you for your decades of improving dive safety, education and being a good person that deeply cared for your fellow divers and shared your passion for this wonderful world under the waves

Always enjoyed the back and forth with the Doc. A sad loss for us all. It's interesting, I have been on ScubaBoard long enough that a number of people I have only known through their board postings have died. Still feel the loss and it's nice to see others here share it as well.
