When I think back to our time in high school I recall friends and David was one of them. Always liked the often rough guy. Another part of “us” is gone.

I knew of Dave in school but, never very well. Then about 10 yrs ago he started to golf in our Saturday group. He and I golfed together on the same cart quite a bit over that time. The last time he was with us was Aug 11. He will be missed. It all happen so guickly. He was a real classic in some respects, but we enjoyed his company. Rest In Peace my friend and thanks for your friendship.
