I'm so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was one of the first people I met at the condo. Such a sweet man. May he rest in peace.

I worked with Dave at the Bridgeport Post and years later I would see him on one of his many very long walks. Dave was always fun to speak with especially about the old days at the "Post'. He was a very unique guy who I'm sure will be missed by many.
