Dave just popped into my mind this evening. A memory of when I knew him. Thirty years ago. I just saw this very heartbreaking news of his passing. It was a gift to know him. A short time....but a memorable time. I still tell his jokes. He was a character! My god he made us all laugh.
Thank you Dave .... Hope to see you on the other side
