Jerry,
I was very sadden to hear the news about Dave, and I am very sorry. Dave was my best friend when I was living across from you two. He always knew the right things to say when I was down in the dumps. I remember the time I asked him about the fishing pole holders on ya-alls deck and asked if he had caught anything yet. The next day I was backing out of the driveway and he had stuck several fishing poles in them...it made my day. I will miss the fun he and I had together, but mostly his loving heart. Please let me know if there is anything I can do call me 402-990-5925.
