I became aquainted with Dave in 1966 when I started working at NWA. Dave and the dayshift crew he was on often completed the unfinished aircraft maintenance of the midnight crew that I was on. I was a newlywed and at Christmas my wife purchased a new Mac toolbox for me thru him. It was a big box on wheels, somehow she found out about him and his tool business out of the trunk of his car. His tool business kept us in touch until he retired from it and afterwards as he would stop by the hangar occasionally for morning coffee. I still have the same toolbox and the same wife after 44 years.
May God bless you, David, and your extended family.
