The world was a better place with Dave in it. The way he ran his businesses to make sure his employees were able to earn a decent wage. The love when he spoke about his family.
I didn´t see or talk to Dave much except for high school reunions. At the reunions we´d see each other and talk about our lives. It was if no time had passed when we got together.
Dave was important part of so many people´s lives in high school. He was so nice, funny and always there for a friend.

I didn't know David, as I graduated from Eastmoor in 1969, but it's always sad to read of a fellow Eastmoor graduate gone too soon. My condolences to his family and friends.

I went to high school with Dave. He was such a good friend. I don't think I would have made it through those crazy years without his friendship and support.
He drove an old black car. There was a gas station near our house that gave out plastic flower whenever you filled up with gas. He put those flowers all over his car. Half the time the car wouldn't start and he carried a hammer with him. He'll get out the hammer and pound on the hood of the car afew times and it usually started.
I spent alot of time at our house because he was good friends with Dan Devere. We were together alot.
THe last time I saw Dave was at our high school reunion. It was if no time had passed. We had the best time remembering our crazy high school days.
My heart breaks for your family because Dave was such an amazing person. I will keep your family in my prayers.
