Dovster was a complex, intelligent man who contibuted greatly to Flyertalk. He could certainly be robust and opinionated, but above all else my abiding impression will be of a kind man who merely wanted to live peacefully on his kibbutz.

He bridged international relations and formed genuine, lasting friendships across very unlikely political and spiritual divides through Flyertalk. He also relied heavily on us to prompt and refresh his own memory. I was delighted to be able to find a way for him to continue to do that in his final months, and grateful for his practicality and openness.

There are many here who knew Dov much better than I did, and my interaction with him was but fleeting towards the end of his life. I really wish it could have been longer - we have lost a fascinating man.
