Not sure what to say?

Still miss him. I talk to Eric, Ken, and Steve more often now. I make sure I read all of Frank and Jack's emails.

David and I had a great deal of fun "learning the ropes" at the University of Iowa!!!! Interesting times.

I know he continued his unique perspective of life, politics, and MUSIC! In noisy Chicago he found his home, his passion for jazz, and as he often said..."the love of his life" Michaela. It sounds like a good run. Peace and rest with God.

Dave was a high school classmate and always a good and interesting guy to spend time with. You could tell in high school he was going to have an interesting life and he didn't disappoint. God Speed friend.
