Georgia and family, Words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Dave was a kind, gentle, and loving man. You both have been there for me during a difficult time and for that I am forever grateful. He will be missed by many, but nowhere near the extent of how you will miss him. Just know that he is with you, he will always be with you. If you ever need anything, I am here for you. I loved him like a father and I love you too. Joan

I am sorry for your loss. I did not know David, but I am a retired Diving Officer and found a book that mentions him. It is called >Just a Sailor, A Navy Diver's Story of Photography, Salvage, and Combat< by Steven L. Waterman, Ballentine Books, 2000. I have the paperback printing and in chapter 9, p 77 there is a little description of PH1 Graver, the author's dive buddy. He comes up again later, but I stopped looking after the second mention. The index shows his name comes up ten times...
