Not sure what to say?

Dave has gone on to provide the his smile and to provide security for the racers who have proceeded him. I regret not being able to share my success this year with him.

Dave will be missed. His cheerful greeting at the entrance to the salt was always welcome and a good start to the meet.
Rest in peace Dave.

Dave from the end of the pave was great man with a wonderful smile for everybody - I will miss him as a great friend
