So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was a wonderful neighbor and friend to us for many years and a great substitute grandfather to our kids when they were young. Although we hadn't seen him in several years, we thought of him often. He will be missed. Many thoughts and prayers are with you, Elaine and your family.
