I would like to say some kind words about Dave.
He was one of my best friends when we attended Victory High School in West Virginia. About 15 years ago, Dave visited me and my wife Sharen in Tennessee. We hung out together a lot at Victory.
My heart is heavy about the loss. Best Regards to his family.

We are so sad to learn of Dave's death. For the past 20 years Dave has spent 3-4 days with us over the 4th of July. Our house would be filled with his booming laugh and our sons would love to hear Dave and their Dad tell their war stories. Please know that we share your loss and hope your memories of this fine man will sustain you.
