David was one of the most decent human beings anybody could ever have the blessing of meeting.
David and I spent years working together. Both in Illinois and at Nellis AFB in Nevada.
We vacationed together in Cali. Had one of the best dart teams in Illinois dart history, "The Masters".
When it wasn't involving any of the above, there was building our favorite Z/28 & Trans Am cars.
Then there was the ever popular online multiplayer Quake II, which went on for about 10 years.
Love you man-
I miss you already-
