We are saddened to hear of Dave´s death. We had the privilege of living across the street from him in Peacock Hill near Ivy VA. We always enjoyed our conversations with him, his insights, and his laughter and sense of humor. Our heartfelt condolences to dear Martha whom we also love and whom we miss now that we no longer live in that neighborhood.
