Sorry for your loss. I remember when I tagged along to a vball tourney at the Vball Hall of Fame in Holyoke. It was a blast! Especially beating that cocky team from NYC!

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of David. He was one of the first people to teach me how to play vball back in HS, and for the last few years it was a pleasure to work with him during the club season, so many years later. He was a passionate man and always found a way to bring vball to many in the Bristol area. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
