To Dave's Family:
Dave was a driver in our wedding in 1978. While we did not see much of Dave these past few years, we saw him often enough to know that he loved his family and enjoyed his freinds. He will be remembered by us as a good friend, someone who could be counted on and a basically good guy. Stranded on a country road, Dave fixed the clutch plate on my 1971 Duster with a bobby pin such that it never needed attention again. He & I still hold the Maria Manor "2 on 2" basketball record of 33 straight wins the same year the Lakers did it! I/we will think of him fondly always.
