I attended St. Mary's with Dave (two years behind him)and he also played on our church league softball team. He was a class act then and apparently remained so for his entire life. My sympathy to his family and loved ones.

Carol,
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well live.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
