My deepest sympathy to Dave's family. We have been friends and coworkers for many years starting back with Ohio Bell. Fortunately for me all of my memories of Dave are good ones and I'll never think of him without a smile on my face. If there is a softball league in heaven then he is in it and loving every minute.
