Received a note from Gary Green that our long time friend Dave Eby, a Thorp builder, flyer and aircraft judge passed away 28 October.

Dave was a great inspiration to us all. As a DAR, he put many a homebuilt in the air.

Dave inspired and helped many in our aviation community, also helped many during EAA Oshkosh in the forums area. Dave will be missed by all that knew him.

I am very sad to hear about Dave's passing. He was a great guy. I will miss his witty humor.

Dave was such a great friend and mentor.
I am so fortunate to have been privileged to have known him for over 15 years.
