Not sure what to say?

David was a close, personal friend of my father, Dick Parsell. I grew to know him through the years and always loved his quick wit.

Dave was always warm and welcoming every time he saw me he greeted me with a big hug and said " well how

" Wanna pitch? How bout now?"
and
" If I gin this hand Ripley won't believe it"

I miss my "pally"
