Dave was one of the best friends I ever had, we also worked together for a while and although we lost touch after I moved away I would think of him from time to time remembering the good times we had. Dave was a great friend, My thoughts go out to his family.
Thanks, Jim. I’m Rick and David’s sister, Kim, and I remember you back in the day when you lived at Southmoor and then by the 7-11 off Rock Lake Drive. Didn’t know if you saw Rick’s obit back in 2004.
