Met Dave when he worked at Johnny's Standard and I was a State Trooper. We became good friends over the years. He went to work for H&H Repair, and I was good friends with Dennis, and I would stop in to visit after work and have a few "Cold ones". They did all the service work on my vehicles and Dave probably did most of it at that time. After we both got old and retired, he still ran the wrecker for H&H and I would stop out at least once a week to "Coffee" with them and catch up on all the latest gossip. He was actually out at the shop on the Wednesday before he passed away. You will be missed my friend so until we meet again, you keep a seat warmed up for me....

I had the pleasure of working with Dave at Johnny's Service Stations. We had a friendly battle of doing something to each others car until I pulled the headlight plugs on his bronco and he got stopped!!
