Such awfully sad news to hear today. I knew Dave in high school and have so many wonderful memories. We graduated, moved on with our lives and lost touch. Now, all these years later, they will be just that, memories, as there is no chance to catch up and make new ones. God bless you Dave, you were a good friend back then, may you find peace and health in Heaven. May God help ease the sadness for friends and family, as I know you will be missed!
