Dave was my College roommate. He was a very smart guy, always dedicated to some endeavor, making achievement. He really taught me to buckle down during those years. We enjoyed Heineken Dark at the Wursthaus, Cambridge, MA. And driving the 1976 Triumph TR6´s (one red, one brown) to Florida when they were brand new cars! RIP Dave.

Dave inspired countless pilots to pursue their aviation careers. There is a good chance that the people flying your next commercial flight passed thru Dave's check ride(s) at some point in their career. You are a safer passenger because Dave Fogarty was here. His passion, skill set and empathy will be sorely missed in the South Florida aviation community.
Rest in peace David, you made a difference!
