I was shocked to see Dave's obit in the Spokesman Review. It was so great to see him and Joan at our 50 year, Lewis and Clark High School reunion this past summer. If he was having health issues, nobody seemed to know. Dave was a great guy, one of my favorite high school classmates. He was always in a happy, funny mood and a blast to be around! His passing is a big loss for our high school class. RIP Dave. There are not enough great people like you in our world.
