I am so sorry to learn of the death of Dave. He and I were trail walker friends. We talked often, even last Wednesday. He was a very gentle, family loving man. We figured out sometime last year that he was my son´s neighbor and I shared with him on Wednesday that they were expecting their second baby. He was so genuinely happy for our family. I am so happy to have know him.
