Vint Cerf reports, "His daughter, Leigh, just sent me the news that
Dave passed away peacefully
on January 17, 2024. He was such an iconic element of the early
Internet. Network Time Protocol, the Fuzzball routers of the early
NSFNET, INARG taskforce lead, COMSAT Labs and University of Delaware
and so much more."

There's a thread at
https://elists.isoc.org/pipermail/internet-history/2024-January/009265.html
and Vint is collecting anecdotes at
