I just found out a minute ago that David Emge died. I am totally shocked. Dawn of the Dead is one of my favorite horror movies. Mr. Emge did a terrific job portraying Stephen. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. God bless and rest in peace David.

David and I shared many memories during our U of E days and way beyond. One of the things I'll remember are our semi-annual "laughing practices" when " Mr. Diction" would come back to town from Hollywood. May God continue to Bless David's Spirit and comfort all his extended family, and friends during this difficult time. Thanks for your service to America and for being a good friend.

I remembered him, as soon as I saw his picture, except his hair was dark & I can picture that bomber jacket. Fly Boy, RIP
