I'm still missing this guy!

Well, today is January 17, 2025. I was just checking up on Dave in classmates hadn’t seen anything about him for quite a while and I went ahead and googled his name and I can’t believe I found out that he had passed in 2014. Dave and I were great friends at school and we worked at the old Arvada McDonald’s for many years together, I just can’t believe that he’s gone. I can’t believe it’s been so long since I talked to him or was able to see him. what a blow to my day Dave was a great friend in school and I knew he would do well. Many happy clouds to Joplin Dave.

I was just looking over some old Clearing House materials and saw a few photos of Dave. And then today I got a notice from Legacy about adding another note for Dave. So here it is, old friend: blessings on you for all you did for others. We miss you!

The word in the obituary that says it best is "charismatic.'' When we were at CU David brought us all along through the sheer, cheerful force of his personality. I often think of those days, and those wonderful people. Sincere regrets, Donna.

It has been a very long time since I have seen David. We had some great times as very young neighbor boys. He was a good friend and thought of often even though we went our seprate ways.
