There are many happy and loving memories of the little guy who lived next door, my brother´s forever friend. The days when we could play cowboys n Indians. Then the teenager as we partnered up to go on the Buddy Dean show as guests n won the door prize and few years later for us to watch The Beach Boys in Consert with a lead off unknown band called The Rolling Stones. Yes many years ago. The special friend who helped us send out my wedding invitations. We finally got together again with you n Pat n your little one David and my little one, Mike. So much time has passed. Will miss you Dave even tho years have passed but you n my brother still always being close has kept you and your family close in heart. You were and always will be some of my and my brother´s favorite memories. With Loving thoughts, Patti

Dave was a great guy. I worked with him for about 15 years. I first met him at Larry Becks. He would chat with me when he had time. I enjoyed the conversations we were able to have. I will be praying for the family.
