I am very sorry to learn of Dave´s passing. I visited with him briefly several years ago. I´m not sure why he remembered me but his fast ball, back in the day, convinced me that I wasn´t a baseball player. I´ll always remember him for his great smile and personality. May God bless his family through this difficult time.
