I first met Dave at Overlea Baptist Church when we were around 11 and 12 years old. Dave was a 11 months younger but as we went through our teenage years we were friends then and have been since. He will be deeply missed. I want to express my deepest sympathy to Dale and to all the rest of his family for their loss. I am prating that our God would comfort you as you pass through these dark days.
