My sincere condolences on Dave's passing. He was a gentleman who still had a lot of golf to play. He will certainly be missed and remembered.

Patti, I was looking in the Obituaries for a friend that recently passed when I came across David's. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. When we worked together at ST, I always remember how much and how lovingly you always spoke of David. Please know that an old friend has you and your family in her prayers.
