I am so thankful we had the opportunity to spend some time with Dave this past summer in Hilton Head SC.
We had very good conversations and it was a pleasure to be in his company. Thank you Dave ! Rest in Peace !

Very sad to hear that Dave is no longer with us on this Earth. I have known Dave for decades ever since 1970, He was very easy going, humble but most effective in his airline negotiations an Pan American and later in world tourism arrangements at Crimson Travel / Thomas Cook and American Express. For me, one of Dave's most memorable achievements was early in 1973, when he was able to arrange the first Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet Charter flight anywhere in the world from Boston to Athens and back for some 400 lucky high school students who will never forget this study trip on land and at sea aboard the also chartered TSS FIESTA of CHANDRIS LINES. Later in his life and after his retirement to Florida, Debbie and myself were fortunate to spend some truly good time with Dave and his wife Mary Jane on their home turf in beautiful maritime Naples. Needless to say, we will miss Dave very much. So, with best wishes for out next Reunion with Dave in heavenly fields. Debbie Bowers and Henri Gautschi
