I opened up the Baltimore Sun today and read of David´s passing. David was a little older than me. We grew up in the same neighborhood. Our mothers were best friends . David was always a nice person and exceptionally talented. My condolences to the family.

David Jacobs, thank you for giving us Dallas. It was the best night time soap opera to ever grace television.
Give my love to Larry, Barbara and Jim.
God speed.
