I am so sad to hear of Dave's passing. I wish I would have known, I would have gone to the memorial service. We go back a long way! So many wonderful memories at the baseball field, partying, dancing, just having fun. Dave loved to dance back in the day!

It was such a delight seeing Dave and Jerry at my brother Dick´s memorial. Dave was diligent in visiting my elderly parents every year at Christmas, so thoughtful.
