We are so in shock! We were trying to call to reconnect. Gayle, please accept our sincere condolences, our hearts and prayers are with you.
Gayle if you would like to contact us please do. My email is [email protected]. Even though we lived in different states we loved him dearly. We will always remember his smile. He was a great man. Dad was thrilled with his knowledge and so proud of his position at WA DOT. He told us often of the tour Dave gave him. His face just lit up telling the story.
Love,
Auntie Hazel and cousins Pat and Steve Foster

He was a great friend, I grew up with him. We were ahead of our time we listened to Chicago, Touch, Store bought Store thought. His mom was a super understanding person for the 60s. I’m sorry I just looked him up, and found he was gone. When I lost my son I went to visit him in Everett he cheered me up with come Sail away by Styx what can I say.
