Dave was a great guy. I remember Dave blocking all my basketball shots, goofing off in his parent's basement, playing poker with him and helping him replace the transmission in his Austin Healey. Dave would help anybody at anytime. It is truly a terrible loss. Deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
