So sorry to hear of Daves passing. I worked with him for many years at Arrow International.We both loved animals and I visited him at the Golden Retriever Rescue. He was a kind and caring man. I am sure he will be greeted with many wagging tails as he too crosses over that Rainbow Bridge into heaven. Rest In Peace.
