I am heartbroken. My husband,Danny,considered Dave his best friend from the many years they worked together at SOS. Dave came to the hospital and stayed with me the entire time Danny was going through an emergency quadruple bypass surgery . We've had many talks through the years and I've always found Dave to be a kind , caring man whose eyes lit up whenever he mentioned his daughters, his grandchildren , and of course ZZ Top! You have my deepest sympathy ,Cassie and Amy. This is a tremendous loss in everyone's life who knew Dave. Sincerely, Danny & Linda Hawks
