My deepest sympathies to the Winterhalter family. I was a Year ahead of him at Exeter and I worked with Dave at Micro-Coax when he would come in the Clean room. We used to have a great time talking and laughing together. He was a nice man and I am very sorry to lose him as a friend. God bless you all. Barb Burkhart, Reading , Pa.
