In the Best Buy days we shared a lot of laughs, a lot of hard work, and a beer or two. Dave was stand up guy, one of the truly good people. My condolences and prayers to his family. I remember how happy he was when he got married, I hope you can all find smiles in your memories during this challenging time.
