I'm sorry for your loss. I have great memories of Dave. Back in our Castro Jr High days, we would ride our bikes from his house, along the railroad tracks to Los Gatos. It was fun as we would spend time at Mark's coin shop (I think that's correct, but I'm old), looking through Indian head pennies and buffalo nickels. I think that Dave always came home heavier with some loose change. I also had the opportunity to bowl in one of Dave's team for several years. Bowling was always fun, because it came after a barbeque and some beers. I don't remember the bowling, other than my 100 offset Dave's 220+, but I think it was fun.

David bowled two 800 series.
He was a wonderful brother: great sense of humor, always generous & thoughtful, a devoted father. If he found out I hadn't seen a tv series or movie he brought me a copy. 4-5 nights/ week he brought a comedy special or favorite show over to watch w/ our mother & he spent a lot of time trying to find ways to make her life easier after her hip surgeries. He rescued a 6 lb. cheweeni & they were inseparable, carrying her everywhere. I hope he, our father, & brother John are swapping stories & jokes in Heaven.
