I was so sad to hear of Dave's passing. We were very close throughout high school, causing our art teacher (dear Mrs. Landa), to often ask us to "tone it down" as we chattered away working on our prospective art projects. Another great memory of Dave harkens back to the days when Monty Python had a bit of a cult following and a bunch of us would crowd around the television in his parents living room to watch on many occasions. I have lots of fond memories of our young and crazy days but sadly, we lost touch after high school. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
Fondly,
Leanne
