It saddened me greatly to hear of the loss of a friend and someone who was a great influence in my life. It isn't often that one can look back at an individual who they've known for over thirty years and say they have nothing but good memories, but that is the case with Dave and his family. I will miss him. Lisa and Scott know they are in my prayers.
