When we were first married, we lived in Dave's basement apartment on Foster Hill Rd. He made us feel welcome, and a part of the town. We came to know him as a true gentleman and a good friend. We enjoyed the time spent with him on the Democratic Town Committee. Dave was an excellent postmaster and all-around "nice guy." He will be missed.
