I'm so sorry to hear about Dave's passing. My brother Mike and Dave were very good friends. Dave was with Mike when he passed and was a pallbearer at his funeral. I have fond memories of Dave coming over to our house and spending time with our family. In 2019, I had the chance to reunite with Dave and introduce him to Mike's son, Michael. They stayed connected ever since. My deepest condolences to his family and friends who loved him. He is reunited with his childhood friend. Mike and Dave are together again.
