My thoughts and wishes for your peace go to Dave's family. I worked with Dave at Johnson & Johnson as consultants in Texas in the early 2000's. He was a great PLC engineer and a terrific associate while working on several projects far away from home. We would commute from NJ to Dallas. In addition, we were rival gourmands, tasting the range of fantastic foods in San Angelo, TX. He was a mentor and a friend. I have and will always think of him fondly. Farewell, my friend.
