We will miss our "Candyman". Dave always had candy for all his friends. He would walk by and throw candy or leave candy at our table. For Halloween, Dave decorated his hat with all kinds of candy. I have attached some photos of our special Dave--We will miss you!

David helped me coach his son's South Hill baseball team when his son was 11 or 12. I really only knew him those couple of years, but he was a good man who cared about kids and would go out of his way to help in any way he could. My condolences to his son and family.
