Robert Newman wrote a sympathy message

“Sometime back, a lady come into our computer shop needing assistance with her various iPads. She shared with me how her husband had written Adventure Game Toolkit back in the mid 1980's. It made me think of the many games I played on my Atari 800XL and Apple IIe, in particular the Zork trilogy. I enjoyed it so much, I gave a speech in my Freshman English class on the text-base adventure game back. I wanted to say thank you to both David and his wife for their contributions.”

“David left a lasting mark in the world of interactive narrative with the development of the Adventure Game Toolkit in the 1980s, a work of creative technology that continues to reverberate through new generations of digital artists and writers. His name will live on in our community. My condolences to his family, and my gratitude for letting me know about his passing. --Jason McIntosh, president, Interactive Fiction Technology Foundation”
