Dokk has helped newbies forever. Those of us "old guys" remember he was one of the founding members and an original official of Condom Project, moderator on the YNOT Network's newbie board, created his own resources, the Newbie Help Lounge and later Beginner's Luck ... all newbie-oriented resources and ahead of their time.
In later years he has continued, just in a lower profile manner. And still gives help on boards to newbie and even middlebees -- when there's a technical question, he's often the one to answer first (and often the only one to answer) and has the correct answer too! 
Of all the industry web radio shows that have ever been created (those still here, those long gone, ever) safe to say 95% of them went through Dokk, were there only because of Dokk. Of the four or five radio show charity auctions that have been ever been held in the industry, again four of them or all five made the air because Dokk volunteered his time and equipment and resources and himself unhesitantly. Often manning the radio himself as MC for 18-20 hour stretches when they became live telethons. Again, charity auctions to help others.
His Negril Net webmaster conventions, besides being the most innovative conceived, is also a rarity in that big guys and smaller ones can hobnob together, in a relaxed atmosphere. How many conventions have you gone to where you've even gotten a chance to see major sponsor CEOs, or they've had time with all the running around to spend more than a few minutes saying hello if you introduce yourself? In Negril you can pretty much get many hours of quality time in over a week with the top guys. I don't think it's one way either; I think the big guys get something back from there hearing and being in touch with the average webmaster too; I think it works out beneficially for all involved ...
So whether his newbie efforts, the radio shows he's backboned on his network, his island convention (and much more), he's responsible in so many ways for getting people together in this industry, getting them information, giving his own information, getting people on the air where people can hear them and ask questions and learn. live at AWE's and Negril ....
Enough blathering. For those who didn't know, now you know a bit more about Dokk. For those who know him, maybe I've sparked a memory or two about how much this guy has done so much over the years for this industry.
Get well soon, Dokkster! We're praying for you and we have your back, bro!
