Roberta & Scott,
I am very saddened by hearing of Dave's passing. He was a very good friend and boss / co-worker during the time we worked together at Schat-Watercraft. I somehow regret not going to work with him at Regal, but didn't want that daily drive from the east coast. Dave was one of the BEST guys I have ever known and was absolutely the BEST you could ever want to work with. I always enjoyed his sense of humor too. I feel bad for not keeping in touch after our working environment changed, but did see Scott on occassion when we worked at Whaler.
May God be with you guys during your time of bereavement and let me know if I can help you with anything. I will be there.
Regards, Rusty
