David McNabb, known here as Hells Custodian, passed away this weekend.  He went peacefully in his sleep.  He loved pinball and enjoyed the MAACA community and the people he met through it.  Thank you.

For anyone who wishes to attend, Dave's funeral service will be held at Pinecrest Cemetary this friday, August 6th, at 2:45pm.

My sympathies to his family and friends. I had some dealings with him through MAACA and he was a stand up guy. He'll be missed.

So sad. I read his posts and if he was very sick, he still seemed to pursue his enjoyment of the hobby. I am sure that somewhere he is smiling knowing that people cared.

Wow, that is terrible news.  I sold Dave a pin, a real easy guy to deal with.  
My sincere sympathies to his family,

Sad news... my sincerest condolences to all that knew him well.

It seems to have happened very suddenly. If it was illness, I hope it wasn't too painful.

Oh man... I was going through old PMs and just cleaning up my account and saw a PM from Dave just 3 days before this happened, asking me for advice on a playfield which I gave him.

Jesus... this has shaken me up good. I haven't had any energy drinks nor junkfood in a week. And that's a stretch for me.

You should feel good knowing you helped create something that makes people happy. Even though Dave's live ended suddenly, he enjoyed something that made his life better and you were a part of it.

Its just so shocking when someone goes way before their time. It shows on his obituary he was a father of two. They are the ones who suffer the most unfortunately.

Why?  He thanked you for the work you've done up to know, as we all do; not the work you have to keep doing "forever".  Do what you feel you need to do and if that includes moving on, that's ok.  We're lucky to have had you and I hope there are times where you will feel and remember you were lucky to have us too .
