I am so sorry to hear this news. I thought of him often during the times when he didn't post, and was uplifted when he did occasionally post here. My prayers for peace are with you Cindy.

I was just thinking about him yesterday and was going to post asking about him. I am sure going to miss seeing him and his comments. He was a great fellow. I know he said he was prepared and knew it was coming soon but it's still so sad to see a friend go.

RIP David, my deepest sympathy for his family.

RIP Pooh Bear. I chatted with him years ago when we both were fans of the tv show NUMB3RS and I always was happy to see his name here. Sincere condolences to his loving wife, Cindy, and family.

Sorry to see this. Enjoyed his postings over the years. Deepest sympathy to his family.

All my sympathies to David's family and friends. He had quite a spirit, in spite of so many years of illness.

I still remember him joking about Oreo cookies being vegan, and how french fries and catsup constituted a 'salad'.

My condolences to your family and friends. He will be missed.

This is very sad news and my deepest sympathy goes out to Cindy and family. David was a great guy and friend on many forums and will be deeply missed by those he ever came in contact with.

Sending my condolences to Cindy and family. David will be missed but at least we know that now he is out of pain and will find peace.

Nice guy!

Sad for the loss!

My deepest sympathies. I'm very sorry to hear this. I hope he is resting peacefully now. God bless his soul.

Always a nice guy. I was sorry to hear this.

He knew and we knew this time was coming and he was prepared, but it is still a loss for his family and all of us. My sincere sympathy to his entire family. Enjoy life eternal Pooh. I know you will. Eventually we will all join you.

Very sad news. Pooh Bear was very brave during his long illness knowing his time was coming. On a good note, at least he is not suffering any longer. Condolences to the Swanson family and an eternal RIP for David/Pooh Bear.

Yes, very sad. He never had a mean word for anyone. Rest peacefully, David.

Deepest sympathies to David's family.

Indeed, rest peacefully.

RIP, David. I always enjoyed his posts. Sincere condolences to his family.

good bye David....we will miss you. Cindy....I'm sorry for your loss , he was one of my favorite KTers.

I will always remember him in his picture wearing his scout shirt.

So sad to read this. He was such a courageous man, such a fighter. Cindy, if you're reading this, my sincerest condolences to you and your family.

Sweet man. Always ready to lend a helping hand. He will be missed.

Sincere condolences to you Cindy and your family.

Very sad news. Such a nice man.

David was a gentle, sweet man. I had a chance to spend the afternoon with he and his wife Cindy a few years ago while on our way to Chattanooga, Tennessee. Life has been quite a struggle for him and while he is now gone and out of pain, he leaves a kind and giving spirit behind.

Sad news, he will be missed here at the table also

I'm sorry to hear this. I always liked his posts.

Goodbye, Pooh Bear - I will miss your posts - R.I.P.

I read this first thing this morning on my forum. David was a member there too. It is so sad. I have been on forums with Pooh for many many years now. He will be sadly missed.

A sincere man who deeply loved his wife. He was straightforward and kind. I will miss him. Prayers for his family and friends.

I am very sorry to see this posted, rest in peace.

Sue

So sorry to hear this, his family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Goodbye Poohbear..we some shared laughs and moments over a few FB games and forum posts. David's gentle, kind spirit is missed. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

I am sad to hear of his passing.

He was such a gentle, helpful person, with a good spirit and I don't think that he had a mean bone in his body.

I enjoyed his posts and a visit with him and Cindy, over ten years ago.

If you read this, Cindy, I offer my deep condolences.

(((((Cindy)))))

Would some of you who do Facebook please tell her of the messages of good will and sorrow that have appeared here.

People asked for a picture ... and there was a camera right there in the room, but we didn't think to take one!

I don't think that my pic had been on the KT earlier.

ole joyful

I saw this on face book. I am so sad. Pooh was a wonderful person. Ole Joyful, I just did as you asked, and sent a PM to Cindy on face book with the link to this page, and telling her how much he is missed here, and that she could read all of our condolances here by clicking on the link. R.I.P. Pooh.

Sorry to hear the news about Pooh Bear. He was always upbeat even through his battles with his illness.

He truly was a one of a kind guy. RIP.

I hate seeing posts like this. Even though I didn't "know" Pooh, he seemed like such a friend because he was always so kind and willing to help. He was wise beyond his years, and will be deeply missed. Rest in peace.

Pooh and I have been "forum friends" for a long long time and I'm sorry we lost contact over the years. Had some communication when his illness was getting worse. I've been wondering about him lately and meant to send a note to see how things are going. Was glad to see him pop in on occasion. Great guy. I still remember how proud he was of his tractor acquisition! Saddened indeed to hear of his departure even though his suffering was great. His family meant the world to him as did his friends and the feeling was mutual. RIP Pooh.
