Dave's parents lived next door to us in Gardiner. I visited with Dave whenever he was in town. When I told him that I was playing 8th grade and high school football, Dave gave me a set of weights, told which lifting exercises to do, and advice on playing the game of football. My condolences to his family.

Dave helped me learn to play basketball when I was a little kid and he was a star athlete at Gardiner High. He was the best athlete ever to come from Gardiner and one of the best people.
