Dave was one of my first "regulars" when I worked at The Clubhouse. I looked forward to his daily lunch visits and quickly became friends with both him and Sally. I will hold those wonderful memories close forever. What a great guy!!!

I worked with Red in the summer of 1990 as a summer help "secretary " in the supply office in Gibsonia. I was the only girl there and Red was so nice and protective of me. I remember his kindness. I´m so sorry to hear about his passing.
