My thoughts and prayers are with the family in this difficult time. Dave was a great guy. I have so many memories of Dave. The 1 I will carry with me the most would have to be that every time I saw him a simple hello wasn't enough he always hugged me and told me he loved me. I love you to Dave. R.I.P. Dave.
