Rest in peace Dave Fry. I'll always cherish our conversations at the quoit club, listening to sinatra with you at the club, talking bout life, giving me the courage to shoot darts, helping you out at your house, and all your funny sayings like polish shrimp and yachi pork chop. Its been an honor to call you a friend these past 21 years. Have a bourbon on the rocks for me up there and remember to have "one more for the road".
