Met Dave through his wife Barbara, a local resident of Mt. Penn. When he was older I chatted with him on facebook occasionally. So sorry to read of his passing. Always fun to talk to. Blessings to his family.

"A sailor has passed away today. You failed to make it to your battle stations during general quarters. You are now relieved from your watch. A job well done fellow navy veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The carrier has turned into the wind preparing for your final launch. Taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation“s defender. Smooth sailing shipmate. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.
