So very sorry about Dave. I just now found out of his passing and was very saddened. Dave and I were good friends in HS and hung out often. He was a great and caring friend. I'll always remember the really good times, riding his Norton, listening to the Stones and getting together with all the other friends. Dave was very well liked and popular. My thoughts go out to his wonderful family. Steve Metcalf
