I met Dave 21+ years ago, there are far too many memories to share. David was a very kind person, very generous, and he had a great sense of humor. He loved watching wrestling on TV, he loved his tomato plants, he truly enjoyed canning and making food at home. He was a very likeable guy and you could count on him for anything, at any time. Glad we were lucky to have a friend like Dave, because he truly was a friend. He was always there for us, no matter the situation. Thanks Dave for your friendship, Rest in Peace...
