Dave was a classmate of mine and a good guy. Condolences to all.
I am very saddened by the death of my neighbor and friend. We are just 1 month apart in age! My sadness is tempered by a new resolve to live my life “one day at a time” and to it’s fullest. RIP my friend…
I’ve known Dave since I was a child. I just saw him two weeks ago and he seemed fine, so when I heard of his loss, it was a great shock to me. My prayers go out to his family. He was a wonderful person and will be missed.
