I’m very sorry to hear about Dave, we spent many “miles” together in the pool at the YMCA over the years. He was a faster swimmer than I and he took great pleasure in passing me - back in the days of the old pool when several of us swam together in the ”fast” lane. The old timers in the Swim for Your Life club will keep Dave in our memories.

May God bless you all.
