Dave was my brother's (David Clark) earliest and longest friend. They shared their musical talents often and I feel sure that somewhere they are hoisting a glass and singing "Michael Row the Boat Ashore" and hundreds more.

Cheryl, a hug to you and peace to your heart and to all your family.

Most fondly, Susan
