I joined the fishermen's group at Penn National when I retired and moved to the community. Dave taught me how to fly fish. We practiced in his yard. He was patient, kind, and understanding. I will always remember him for including me, even though I was inexperienced.

We neighbors were never close but were drawn together by the Grahams many gatherings. I always enjoyed seeing his holiday displays that added to the beauty of our community. We will miss him and pray for peace and comfort for Kim and the family. Rose

Dave and I met at Lockheed in Hanover, MD about 20 years ago. He knew his job very well, was very personable and pretty funny. He had a great sense of humor. We also loved to play golf as did I and found that was a great way to get together and fun outside of work. I'll truly miss Dave, he was a great friend & co-worker. Thanks for the great memories Dave. Your friend Walt
