My deepest sympathies. Dave and my dad were best friends and were together alot. One of my earliest memories is Dave coming over to our house in Lawrence Park and giving us all rides on his motorcycle. He and Blanche would always let you come and stay no questions asked. You will be missed, Dave. Heaven gained another angel. Say hello to dad for me.
