Very sad to learn of Dave's passing. Dave was a friend to me when I had none having moved to Bakersfield in the mid eighties. Had some great times hanging out with the band and singin some tunes. You were a great bassman and you always had a smile and laugh. Wherever you are keep rockin' dude.

Dave was always a source of encouragement and a joy to be around in high school. He always had a smile and left an indelible imprint on the Tehachapi community. I feel blessed to have known him! Soar high my friend!
