Dave Sauve was my 6th grade teacher (1970) at Forest View Elementary in Lansing. The first day of school he called me up to his desk and introduced himself.

We will miss his presence, but I believe he's watching over his loved ones with a new parachute in the shape of a cloud.

Great guy I am glad I got to know.
