I was saddened to hear of Dave's passing. I clearly remember the first visit we had in New York at my first PSNI meeting. He always liked to talk about his business numbers. He also liked to talk about his experience in Kansas City with Alexander AV. He more frequently bragged about his trips with Barbara to watch the whales on the Pacific. David will be greatly missed.
