I just learned that Dave had passed. I belong to Lumen Christi, where he attended mass and faithfully served the community. While I didn't know him, I always looked forward to seeing him at mass. He always had a kind greeting. May the Lord welcome him Home, as he was a good and faithful servant. My condolences to his family.
