I remember Dave from Junior and High School and a little afterwards. He had a tough side that was driven only by loyalty, family, and friendships. If you never challenged any of those with Dave he was a good, good man. How many people can say this? Those memories of Dave will be missed. Old school good guy. I lost touch for many years. I do hope he had a good life. God bless Dave, his friends and family.
