I grew up with Dave! I got to say he had guts! We used to jump off the shack into the water! You had to get a real good running start! To make it to the water! A good 15 to 20 feet to make it to the water! There a lot we did together that we were lucky we didn´t get hurt or something! I´ll see him on the other side!

I will always remember David's helpful advice (co-counsel) and generosity. Definitely honored to have been one of his many friends. I will never forget the time when I needed a friend the most. He was right there for me (remember Charlie?). Just this past year I reunited with David in Canton and met his finance. It was so great to see him since I often thought of him and wondered where he was and how he was doing. I am truly going to miss you Dave. I am sure you are with Ben playing music doing what you loved doing the most. You touched my heart and I will deeply miss you. My condolences to Dave's family. He had a heart of gold. Love, Greg Baker
