Hey You

It saddens my being to have lost a humorist friend, we all need laughter in our lives to help us make it through the day and Dave was the one to give it. One who was there to listen without judgement, someone who's ear I've bent numerous times. A person who can put a smile on your face without really seeing it. DR Z will be missed. My love and condolence to all of Dave's family. I love you and will miss you.... God needed you more than we do.
