Dave was my best friend growing up. I lived just two houses away from his, and we shared a great childhood together in Groton. I have so many memories of the things we did together, the adventures we shared. Sadly, after having lost contact for decades, I had been thinking of him lately, and wondering if we might reconnect to share a few memories of our past together. But, obviously, I was too late, a regret I'll carry for the rest of my life. We were more than friends, as his wonderful family took me in as one of their own. I'm pretty sure I had more dinners at the Fulton home than I did at my own, and because of that closeness, Dave and I shared a special bond. I offer my sincere condolences to his family, and may my special friend rest in peace. I'll always hope we meet again.
