Dave was a great friend of mine. Had so much fun with him in the 70's. We went out together off and on and always had a great time. He was funny, kind, handsome & a true friend. I saw him often on my visits home after I moved to FL. So sorry to hear of his passing. To Dennis & Kim & the rest of Dave's family is send you prayers & sympathy at this very difficult time.
