Holisak Family - I was saddened by the news of Dave's passing. I am also a STA classmate of David's. I remember playing HGRA football with Dave back in elementary days near the Highland Catholic School. Dave was such a nice guy and we had many laughs together. It does take time to get through and I am sure Dave is in a good place. God bless the Holisak family and God bless David's soul.
